Following the construction of the railway from Chester to Holyhead The north Wales coast became a popular holiday resort. Therer were many small hotels and boarding houses at Old Colwyn. There was a need for an English language place of worship for the holidaymakers. Services were held for them at the Ebenezer Welsh Congregational Church. The ppulation of Old Colwyn was increasing as many holidaymakers eventually retired to the area. To provide for the spiritual needs an English language church was built on Berthes Road. It became a thriving church for many years.
