The church dates from 1939 and was founded by Reverend John Owen Williams, who had started a cottage Sunday school in Cefn Hengoed in 1931.[1] A Second World War air raid shelter is located at the side of the church.[2]

The church required extra funds for a refurbishment in 2010.[3] By 2015, the church was defunct, and together with some adjoining land, was offered for sale with a starting price of £150,000.[4]
