'Bible Christian' was originally a term of contempt for those who, unashamed, carried heavy Bibles to church under their arms. Bible Christians today are proud of their heritage, but their Bibles are usually a little smaller!
The East Wall
Renovations!
Three years ago we treated the outside of the east wall of the chapel; it takes a long time for damp to dry out of a ancient stone wall.
Now the team has been busy dry-lining the inside, planning the work so as not to impinge too much on Sunday worship.
Ready for painting; time for other volunteers to get their brushes and rollers to hand.
202nd Anniversary
Many residents and friends joined us for Public Worship and/or Barbecue and Cake on our anniversary. It was kind of so many to share in our celebrations.
Summer 2023
Mr Colin Woolcott led the anniversary service with warmth and challenge. The congregation responded with appreciation and unprecedented energy in the singing of the hymns.

Billy Bray (1794-1868) in free audio on the Web
Billy Bray was an extraordinary man, although he would say that he had an extraordinary Saviour.
He was, and is, known for his Christian joy, praise, faith, witness, exuberance, humility, confidence... There is no end to the list. Billy had close associations with Hicks Mill, Baldhu and many other Cornish chapels.
F. W Bourne's book: The King's Son, or, A Memoir of Billy Bray has been continuously in print since 1884, in over 50 editions. It is now available as an audio book, read by Alan Chant at a variety of Cornish locations known to Billy. It is published freely on the Web courtesy of Librivox, the Internet Archive or You Tube. There are many ways to listen to it; one is to google:
