Welcome to The Merthyr Tydfil Ministry Area

Next Combined Service

Once a month, we worship together at different locations across the Ministry Area. Come and join us!

The next combined service will be…

Sunday 16th March, 10.30am
at St Tydfil's Church

This will be the only service in the MA on this Sunday.
Please let us know if you need transportation.

All other Sundays follow our usual pattern, shown below.

Come to church and be part of our community!

Our Ministry Area stretches from Dowlais to Merthyr Vale and across to Christ Church, with the town in the middle.

Our motto is Friendship, Fellowship, Faith and Fun, and we are on a journey of learning to share all these four things.

We share one faith, but express it slightly differently across our various churches - reflecting the broadness of the Anglican Church.

Whichever congregation you approach, you will receive a very warm welcome, and will quickly find a home among friends.

Don’t be shy!

We look forward to meeting you.
