Rhos Family Church (unnamed at that time) first met on Sunday 9 July 2000 in the home of founder members. Twenty-five people were present and apologies for absence were received from a number of others. It was obvious that somewhere larger and more central was urgently needed and arrangements were quickly made to hire Parkway Community Centre in Rhos on Sea for the service the following Sunday morning. The church continued to meet in Parkway Community Centre for "all age Sunday services" until November 2000, by which time we had outgrown those premises with seventy people being regular attendees. The Centre was also proving unsuitable for other reasons, one of which was the lack of accommodation for young people’s activities and a crèche. In November 2000 the church moved to Llandrillo-yn-Rhos Infants School on Bryn Menai, Rhos on Sea, and continue to meet there at the time of writing. We are grateful for the use of a school hall as our base on Sundays, and we also use a variety of homes and other venues during the week.

During the very early days a small group, whose vision was responsible for starting the work, undertook the running of Rhos Family Church. However, after a detailed consultation exercise, with all involved having the opportunity to take part, decisions were taken as to the type of leadership structure to be formally adopted and elected.

In late 2000 we formally constituted as a Church with an initial membership of 70 people. In early 2001 our first Fellowship Council was elected with annual elections continuing thereafter. Members of the Fellowship Council are currently elected to serve a maximum of 3 year terms.

We are so grateful to God for the way that He has prospered us over these early years. Under His hand we have grown from our original 25 people to a congregation averaging 80 people and a committed membership in excess of 60 people. Because many of our membership come from a variety of different backgrounds we try to be broad-based in terms of church practice in a biblical, relevant and contemporary way. Various members take part in leading Sunday services and preaching which provides a variety that is appreciated by many. We now have a full time Family & Youth Pastor, with many activities being led by different church members using their gifts and abilities.

We have a desire to grow as a Church and develop our ministries. We would love to find larger more permanent premises that would allow us to develop:

our outreach activities,

a more comprehensive programme of evangelism,

a more effective form of pastoral care and support,

a programme of social life, and

a sense of unity that would show increasingly the attractiveness of being part of God’s family.

Our desire is to establish a strong biblically based Church that caters for all ages, where everyone's gifts and concerns are valued and a family atmosphere prevails. Our aim is to extend God's love to families and individuals of all ages and backgrounds in our local community.
