Here at Bryn Sion we are one big growing family of all ages, welcoming to all. We are a local church family based in Aberdare, South Wales – in the community for the community.
We believe that church isn’t a place you visit on a Sunday, but a family you belong to. Encouraging and supporting one another is central to who we aspire to be. Our aim is that everything we do is driven by a desire to be plugged-in to Christ’s life, connected-up in Christ’s love, and shining-out Christ’s light – loving and serving the people of Trecynon and the wider Cynon Valley.
Life and faith is a journey. Each of us are at a different place on that journey. That’s why we provide a variety of groups and activities. Gathering together to worship and hear the Bible taught is really important to us, as are our Connect Groups where we can share and grow together in smaller groups. All of this flows into our mission to shine Jesus by being his hands and feet to our communities, serving people and sharing Christ’s love in practical and relevant ways.
Bryn Sion has been serving in the community Trecynon for many years. We own a chapel building which we are sadly unable to use at present due to problems with the internal listed ornate plaster work ceiling. Consequently, we hold our Sunday morning gatherings in the Trecynon Community Hall. The rear section of our chapel building, which we call the Hub, is busy with most of our ongoing community activities.
Ian is married to Deborah, and they have two sons. As a family they came to serve with us here in Bryn Sion in February 2015. Ian was a school teacher before coming into to full time ministry. He was ordained in 2002 and has led churches in Scotland and Wales, and supported churches and church leaders in South America. He loves to help people discover and then grow in everything God has created them to be. He also has a passion to train and equip people for ministry.
Ian is very committed to the life of our local community, serving as a school Governor and Chaplain at Aberdare Town FC.
If you would like to speak to Ian, he is always available for a chat.
