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.
Encouraging and supporting one another to be all that God wants us to be, 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.
Take a look at our About Us page to find out more and also what to expect during one of our Sunday Services.
We are one big growing family welcoming to all. Our aim is to encourage one and other as we grow together in the Christian faith. Perhaps you are new to the area, or exploring questions of faith. We are here for you. Whether you’re looking for a church to attend on your own, or with your children, or have a teenager with questions about God and Christianity, we welcome you to join us.

We love our community and run a number of activities that support adults, children, young people and families. We are a community focused church and love getting involved in activities and events in our local area. From delivering essential items to those in need, to putting together fun after school activities, family events, and live music events at a local coffee shop, we believe community is at the heart of what we do as a church.
Whether you attend our church regularly or have never been to church before you are very welcome to join us!
At Bryn Sion we want to be plugged in to Christ’s life, connected up in Christ’s love, and shining out Christ’s light. Connect Groups are right at the centre of this vision.
An invitation to partner with our building project
We own an historic chapel building in the centre of Trecynon. We currently only use the rear of this building, ‘the Hub’ on Mount Pleasant Street, for community events and are in desperate need of more space. We want to reopen the chapel to expand our community activities and engage with the needs of our community in new ways. This will involve two stages: fixing the internal plaster work ceiling, and then redeveloping the chapel to remove pews and level the floor creating a multi-functional space, installing a new glazed door entrance, and disabled access.
Historically the chapel building was at the centre of village life. We want it to be a shining place in the centre of our village again, meeting the needs of Trecynon. So we are renovating for renewal.
UPDATE
The ornate plasterwork of the Gr II listed chapel ceiling is now ready to be repaired and restored. Permissions are in place, a surveyor and a builder are waiting to begin the work. We are in need of finance to add to what is already in hand to enable the £130,000 project to go ahead. If you feel you would like to play a part in securing the building for future generations – please consider a gift. It can be gift aided if you are an income tax payer, with HMRC adding 25%, please let us have your name and address details if this applies to you. Your partnership would be a great help, and a valued contribution, no matter how large or small. Thank you!
