Hebron Evangelical Church, Dowlais -
A Bible-centred Christian church, meeting in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales
There has been a Baptist Church at Hebron Chapel, Caeharris, Dowlais for over 150
years. During this time Dowlais has seen massive changes: the railways and their
stations have gone, the coal and steel industries have disappeared, the population
has halved, hardly any Welsh is spoken, a close-
The people at Hebron believe the same truths as those who built the chapel in 1846,
because there are some things that never change. The Living God, our Creator, does
not change or go out of fashion, The Bible is still up-
The message is the good news of how God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, came into the world to deliver us from our sins by His death and His rising again from the dead. He comes to restore us to a real relationship with God, to forgive our sins and to give us a solid foundation for life in this world and the next.
The marvellous thing about the Christian faith, which sets it apart from every other religion, is that at its centre is a living Saviour, Jesus Christ. The facts of His earthly existence, death and resurrection are amongst the most solid and dependable facts in human history. Dead politicians, dead prophets, dead religious leaders cannot help you to deal with sin: but a living Saviour can. Christians can testify to the reality of a living God at work in their lives. One of the purposes of this site is to introduce you to the same living God, who has shown us just how much He loves us by coming down to earth in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Those of us who meet at Hebron are ordinary Merthyr people who have found in Jesus Christ the key to life. For us He is "The way, the truth, the life". We really do want to share this Good News with you. We believe the Christian message is of the utmost importance for ourselves, our children and everyone else in the world.
