Cwmaman Pentecostal Mission
The Pentecostal Mission was founded in 1920 and a Christian
group originally met in a room above a stable, in Brynmair Road, Cwmaman.
Later a brick Mission Hall was built on the site. The group meeting at
the "Mission" were one of the first block of South Wales churches
to join the newly formed Assemblies of God structure in 1924.
Ken Brown took leadership responsibility for the Cwmaman fellowship in 1982 and following a period of sustained growth began looking for a larger, more suitable premises for the group to meet. In 1989, Moriah Aman Independent Welsh Chapel, Fforchaman Road became available for purchase, and was secured.
A major refurbishment and alteration programme was started and slowly over the years (due to limited finances) the work progressed stage by stage to the tremendous resource that it is today.

Moriah Aman Chapel
Moriah Aman was founded by an independent Welsh Chapel in 1843 originating
from Sunday Schools and prayer meetings being held in local houses, one
of which was, 1 Pit Row, Cwmaman and the original buildings was built
and opened on 2nd/3rd October 1845.
Because of the expanding membership of the time, the Chapel was extended to its present architectural form in 1893 and the interior remained the same until 1989. Sadly due to a decline in Chapel attendance, the building had to be closed because of the financial upkeep required by such a large building, and it became available for purchase. We've included some photos in a small gallery on the left here, just as a historic record of our shared past. Just click on the image on the left to enlarge.

Moriah Aman
Christian Centre
In 1989 the Cwmaman Pentecostal Mission needed to expand from its small hall in Brynmair Road and seized the opportunity to purchase the chapel building to firstly retain its function as a place of worship and to develop a facility that would provide other community benefits.
The first stage of the refurbishment began in 1990 with the conversion of the vestry into a multi-functional hall with its own access, toilets and kitchen facility.
The Pentecostal Mission then moved from Brynmair Road to the new hall. As finances became available, work was carried out on the main chapel building and after years of hand work and commitment by the people was officially re-opened in 2001, and the name changed to Moriah Aman Christian Centre. This name combined to the recognition of the old chapel with the new concept of combining the sharing of the Good News of Jesus Christ with the meeting of other community needs.
The present building is an impressive facility not only for worship services, but also as a quality community resource.
Features of MACC premises include:
