Welcome!

We love to meet at Providence and Ebenezer Chapels to worship God and learn more about him from the Bible. We would love for you to share the joy of knowing Jesus as Lord and Saviour. See our Meetings page for information on our regular services. You would be most welcome to attend any of our activities. We share a joint-pastor, Guy Davies who has been our minister since November 2003. Our churches are Evangelical and Reformed, holding that salvation is through grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.

Topical Interviews


You Could Have It All: An interview with Geoff Thomas

A staple of New Year’s Eve TV programmess is Jools Holland’s ‘Hootenanny’, a show packed with music and chat to take us into a New Year. Often Jools will ask his guests for the New Year predictions. They usually say something optimistic like, ‘It’s going to be the best year ever’. 2020 didn’t quite work out like that. Who knows what 2021 has in store for us? It needn’t be a let down. Author Geoff Thomas has written a book promising, You Could Have It All. Sounds to good to be true? Our pastor Guy Davies will be asking Geoff exactly what he means by that in an online interview on Sunday 3 January 2021 at 6.00pm. You will find the interview livestreamed on our Facebook page.


Who stole Christmas? An interview with Phil Heaps

Ever feel that no matter how much effort you put into making the next Christmas ‘the best ever’, it always seems to fall short? You do your best with the tree, pressies and a turkey and trimmings dinner, but the big day always fails to live up to expectations. It’s like something’s missing, or maybe someone. ‘Who stole Christmas?’ you might ask. On Sunday 13 December at 6.00pm our pastor Guy Davies will be putting that question to author Phil Heaps. He’s written a book entitled, Who Stole Christmas? Phil wants us to get beyond the blatant commercialism of the season to look at the One who should be at the heart of our celebrations, Jesus Christ. Putting him at the centre of our lives will never be a let down. You will find the interview livestreamed on our Facebook page.

Anxiety - A Mirror of the Heart, an interview with Catherine Haddow

'As a result of the pandemic and lockdowns, many people are feeling anxious and fearful. Pastor Guy Davies conducted an online interview with Chartered Psychologist Catherine Haddow. The focus of the conversation was ‘Anxiety: A Mirror of the Heart’. In her books ‘Emotions: Mirrors of the Heart’ and ‘Jars of Clay’ Catherine has sought to show how faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can help to calm our anxious souls and give us peace.

'Facing fear, finding hope' - an interview with Jeremy Marshall

Jeremy Marshall was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2013. He was 49 years old, happily married with three children. After undergoing surgery and a course of radiotherapy, Jeremy was declared cancer-free. But three years later he was diagnosed with cancer again, this time in a different form and was told it was incurable.

Jeremy wrote a book called "Beyond the Big C" which chronicles Jeremy’s extraordinary relationship with cancer and, more than anything, his extraordinary relationship with the person who promises life beyond the prognosis. The essence of Jeremy’s story is that despite the sickness and disease present in the world, a life lived in light of Christ’s death on the cross means there is hope for the future no matter what.

Jeremy Marshall is the former CEO of the UK’s oldest private bank, C. Hoare & Co. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2016. In this interview, Pastor Guy Davies talks to Jeremy about his faith in the face of death. Click here to watch the video.


A different perspective on the chapel!

          Good news for our world for                         everyone in every situation

In the gospel (which literally means Good News) according to John, chapter 3 and verse 16, John writes "For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
But what does that mean?
We learn about God from the Bible. He is a God of sovereign purpose, boundless love, awesome power and spotless purity. The one true and living God eternally exists in three glorious Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Human beings are made in the image of God. This is what makes us so special. But sin has ruined our relationship with God. If we are honest, we all have to admit that we are sinners. Deep down we long for a relationship with God. We are made for him and nothing less than knowing God can satisfy the human heart.
God so loved the world that he sent his only Son, Jesus, into the world to deal with the problem of sin. Jesus came as man in order to die on the cross that we might be put right with God. But he did not stay dead. God raised him from the grave and exalted him to heaven.
We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. He is alive today and is able to save all who trust in him. In Jesus Christ, God offers us a relationship with himself that is real and satisfying. One day we will all have to give an account to God for the way we have lived our lives. Jesus died in the place of sinners so that we might not perish, but have eternal life. For our eternal future to be certain, it is essential to put things right with God now by trusting Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
