Quick Summary

The Moriah Calvinistic Methodist Church is located in Llangefni, a town on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales. Llangefni serves as the administrative center for the county and originated as a market hub for the island's agricultural activities. The Moriah church is one of several Nonconformist churches in Llangefni and is notable for its connection to John Elias (1774–1841), a prominent preacher during the Welsh Methodist Revival. Elias sought refuge in Llangefni after facing an angry mob in Beaumaris. The town continues to be a lively market center, with livestock trading occurring weekly.1

The Presbyterian Church of Wales, which developed from 18th-century Methodist revivals in Wales, is Calvinistic in doctrine, aligning with George Whitefield's views over John Wesley's. This movement eventually formed a separate Presbyterian church from the Church of England in Wales, with distinct synods for North and South Wales.2
