Who We Are

We are the Presbyterian Church of Wales. A community of people seeking to follow Jesus, serve others, and share faith across Wales and beyond.

The Presbyterian Church of Wales is one of the largest Christian denominations in Wales, with some 14,000 members and around 475 churches . Our aim is to worship God and to spread the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Also known as the Calvinistic Methodist Church and ‘The Connexion’, the Presbyterian Church of Wales was born out of the Methodist revival of the 18th century.

The Presbyterian Church of Wales has around 35 ministers and 35 Christian workers. It also owns two training centres, Coleg y Bala and Coleg Trefeca, and has strong links with other church and denominations, particularly the Presbyterian Church of India.

For generations, we’ve been part of communities across Wales, worshipping God, supporting one another, and reaching out to those around us.

Today, that continues through our churches, our ministries, and our work in communities. From local congregations to national initiatives, everything we do is shaped by faith, people, and a desire to make a difference.
