"Bethel Chapel", as it
was first known, was built in 1789 for its first pastor, Mr Thomas Watkins.
Later, as "The Countess of
Huntingdon's Chapel" it was run by the Trustees of the Lady Huntingdon's
Connexion.
In 1880, after establishing a new
trust and joining the Somerset Congregational Federation, it became "Bearfield Congregational Church".
Today, while the church is no
longer in the Congregational Federation, the congregation is still very
involved in the running of the church.
We are a church family from a
variety of backgrounds, and provide a warm and welcoming place for all who
attend. We aim to appreciate and encourage church family members from all walks
of life.
