We only stood on the roadside to admire this lovely old building and although it was starting to rain when we went to look at it, we took our photos and hoped for the best. It has not disappointed us has still managed to look spectacular despite the somewhat grey day. To take more pictures on a sunny day when it will be shown off at it's best is just one of many reasons why we cannot wait to come back to Barmouth next year.

This building is such an impressive feature of Barmouth, sitting above the town and against the wall of the mountain. It's a bit of a climb to get there but not too bad. Inside it's airy and spacious. I was hoping the stained-glass windows would have the wow factor, but they didn't quite. What was a joy to see was just how much this is a living Christian community for the whole family. The space for children on the side of the church and the sofas for relaxing were good to see. God bless you all!

The church is well worth the walk up to see it! It's a bit of a hike so go early if it's a warm day.

Came here while on holiday in Barmouth. Was surprised to see comfy chairs and sofas. Had a nice lie down as I was tired. I also had a look at the world map poster which was very detailed. I then had a wander round the church and my mum lit a candle to remember her pets that have died. They even had a water jug with cups of water to help yourself to.

Very nice church - would recommend to anyone.

This church looks bit scary but inside was family friendly. I have never seen a church have sofa sets with carpet and child playing area right next to the praying place. If I were living here and having a child, I would come here with my child. It's so family friendly. I'm impressed.
