Evangelism Training from George Whitfield
In the Spring of 1740 George Whitefield was travelling and preaching in what is now the USA. Unimaginable crowds attended his preaching and many people were converted. One of the people who came to a life-changing knowledge of Christ at this time was an Indian Trader known to us only as Mr M. His new found faith gave him a concern for the Allegany Indians among whom he had worked and he sought Whitefield’s help and advice in what he…
The Religious Affections by Jonathan Edwards

Easter Cracked 2025

This then leads on to a session explaining…

Every month we open up the church and hold a relaxed evening for men to hang out together. It…
Our story
It all began in 1865, when Grangetown was only a few streets, and people from Tredegarville Baptist Church started a Sunday school above ‘Morley’s stable’ on the corner of Earl Street. Tredegarville Baptist was itself just two years old. Ten years later, in 1875, the church got its own building, as the ‘Iron Church’ was built. By 1879 the church had a membership of sixty-three people, but it wasn’t until 1881 that the church became independent of Tredegarville Baptist. From…
