  the home of this Society.

  The building is located at the rear of Caerphilly Castle
    and is close to the shopping facilities, both within
  Caerphilly and in Cardiff, as well as having the glorious
  open countryside all around.

  The Organ at Wesley has 2 manuals and pedals and is an
  instrument of 25 speaking stops. The majority is from an
  instrument originally built for Christ Church, Cotham, Bristol
  by Vowles, before being rebuilt by Percy Daniel & Co. in 1970.
  It was transferred to Caerphilly in 1992 and rebuilt in
  Wesley by Leonard and Malcolm Starr, aided by the men
  of the church. The pedal department with one rank of pipes is housed in the
  casework of our previous organ which came from the Ross on Wye Methodist Church.

  Worship is conducted in the church on the upper level
  with its pine seating and oak pulpit and vestries.

  Weekday activities and Sunday School meet on the lower level which
  has a main hall and various classrooms, toilets and kitchen.

  The members are always busy hosting special events 
  and the church is looked upon locally as a cultural centre
  for the area. The activities range from musical programmes,
  flower displays, social evening etc.
  We are also host to groups who regularly use our premises
  such as National Blood Donor sessions, Stroke Club
  as well as our weekly programmed activities.

 We see Fairtrade as an important part of our world mission and use
 their products for our church uses, have stalls with a selection of goods
 for sale at special services and support our Caerphilly County Borough
 Council in the promotion of Fairtrade in the community.
 

 The Cardiff & Caerphilly Methodist Church Circuit, of which we are now part, comprises of 22 churches that share worship and social activities in common. Please see the Circuit Plan for further information.
