Our Life

St. David's Abergwili and Capel y Groes are Bible teaching, Church in Wales Churches on the edge of the historic market town of Carmarthen.  We are delighted to see growth in our Churches and would love to see that continue!  We have recently become part of a brand new Team Ministry of East Carmarthen, linking up with the town's oldest parish of St. Peter.  We are excited about this new venture and all that working together will bring.

We have also recently stepped out of Capel y Groes Church in Peniel and into the new Community Centre meeting rooms attached to the new community school.  The Community Centre is situated right in the middle of Peniel, and is far warmer and more comfortable that the church, but we'd all agree, less asthetic!

We welcome people of all ages and from all sorts of backgrounds; those who wish to find out about Jesus for the first time, as well as those who want to grow in their faith for him.

We are pooling resources now within the Benefice, and so our Sunday School meets in St. John's Church in Carmarthen on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, we are also able to offer a Youth Group - BoB's, also in St. John's every Friday night.  To get more information about this, click on the Youth and Children tab on the left. In Church, we offer a variety of services for adults, from Holy Communion to All Age Worship.

The Parish Logo we have been using is the line from the Lord's Prayer, "THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE" - that the inbreaking of God's Kingdom, will only happen when we become true disciples of Jesus.

We are doing this by:

• Reaching into our community - with weekly and monthly outreach events and by providing people with regular opportunities to explore Christianity
• Worshipping together in a variety of styles to suite all ages and preferences
• Serving those who are in need
