Greenfield Baptist Church
Baptist
Greenfield is a Christian Baptist Church situated in the town of Llanelli in South Wales. The chapel is ideally located in the centre of the main town, but also close to a wide residential community. We are within easy access from the M4 motorway for holidaymakers visiting the area.
Greenfield Baptist Church opened its doors for the first service of worship on 1 August 1858. There had been a need for some time for an English speaking Baptist Church in what was a very Welsh speaking town and community.
By the mid 1850's Llanelli was developing both industrially and as a thriving port town. There had been for many years an influx of English speaking families, mainly from the West counties of England seeking employment in the busy steel, iron and shipping industries of the town.
Two Welsh speaking churches Seion (formed in 1822) and Bethel (formed in 1841) rose to the challenge of forming this new church. 20 members, 12 from Seion and 8 from Bethel were released and from a very small membership the church prospered and reached a pinnacle of 600 + members in the 1930's. Greenfield Baptist Church is as active now as it has always been, with services and group activities for all ages! We hope you will feel a warmth of welcome when attending our services.
Service Times
NORMAL REGULAR SERVICES:
Our Sunday Services are very special times of worship and fellowship. Our 11am service is ‘Family Worship’ for all ages, from our youngest children to our oldest members and friends. This service is musically both traditional and contemporary, with the occasional backing tracks!
The children and young people leave after their story time for the creche and Junior church in the lower hall, well looked after by our dedicated teachers. Visiting families are more than welcome to take advantage of this.
Both the Junior Church and other Youth Groups take part in special services during the year, such as Anniversaries and other traditional times in the Christian calendar.
Our evening worship at 6pm is more traditional and less numerical ! Our hymns and songs are from ‘Mission Praise’.
HOLY COMMUNION:
All Christian believers are welcome to join with us in Communion (the Lord`s Supper).
Our emphasis is upon the preaching of the Word and the importance of fellowship, and sharing as the church of Jesus Christ.
The ordinance of the Lord’s Supper is held on the first Sunday evening and the third Sunday morning.
You are very welcome!
