Thought for the month: Try Jesus. If you don't like Him the devil will always take you back.

The Front of the Chapel

The Chapel was built in 1865 just outside the village, on land provided by a local farmer.
Until the Deed of Union in 1932 there were several branches of the Methodist Church and Ashwater was "Bible Christian". We still have pretty china recording that fact!
The architecture is typical of the day.
The single-storey School Room was originally the village day-school.

Chapel Interior

The interior of the Chapel was renovated in 1997 but original features, such as the pews with doors, have been retained.
The pulpit is moveable which gives space for music and drama.

We are really fortunate in having the School Room attached to the Chapel because it gives space for activities.

Prayer Ministry

If you would like someone to pray with you in your own home (either because you cannot get to a service or because your needs are private) please contact the co-ordinator, Maggie Elliott, on 01409 211282. Whoever visits you will treat everything you say in the strictest confidence. Only God will hear about it!
