The church building has a lot to interest the visitor in it's architecture outside and inside. A large columned portico houses the front stepped enterance and is indicative perhaps of the columned area described at the pool of Bethesda in John 5.

The chapel itself can seat upwards of 500 people and has a large gallery. All of the woodwork has been decorated in light colours to make the best use of light. The pulpit features carvings denoting the bread of life and the true vine. Wonderfull accoustics accompany the large two manual pipe organ built in 1906 with the aid of the Carnegie fund.

The vestry houses a stained glass window which buitifully represents the emblem of the Presbyterain Church of Wales: 'Goleuni y Bywyd'. Notable members and founders are Thomas Jones, Dinbych, Roger Edwards, Daniel Owen, John Roberts, Minimus and Thomas Jones, Glan Alun. Daniel owen Memorial rooms form part of the Vestry and there is an exhibition area with related chapel meorabilia and portraits.
