Early history
The church at Noddfa dates from 1885, when meetings began to be held in a room at the Robertstown Hotel. At this time, baptisms were held in the river Clydach. The chapel was built in only nine months in 1889-90.
The first minister was Rev W.B. Jones but he departed for North Wales in 1895.
Twentieth century
In 1976 the chapel became a united Welsh language church, with members joining from Tabernacle and Jerusalem. Following the merger there were around 80 member but the numbers had fallen to 15 by the early 21st century.
