CMC History
A brief history of the CMC
In 1957, a Christian work that was both evangelical and interdenominational commenced in Beddgelert in the Snowdonia National Park with English Sunday services being conducted in the Methodist Chapel. From these small beginnings the work of the Beddgelert Evangelical Services grew, and when Pastor and Mrs. Michael Perrin moved from Suffolk to N. Wales in November 1965 to help in this witness, they believed that God was leading them to establish a Christian centre for young people. Far sooner than expected a farmhouse was placed at their disposal and the vision of the Beddgelert Christian Mountain Youth Centre became operational.
Supporting CMC Pensarn Harbour
How can I support CMC Pensarn Harbour?
We believe that by providing the highest quality outdoor residential courses possible and making these available to as many people as we can, we are able to show God's love to our guests daily.
Outdoor courses are essential to the complete development of young people, they encourage teamwork, self awareness, confidence, trust, friendship and interdependency - qualities that are all too absent in much of society. We provide these opportunities within the safety of a caring Christian environment. It really does make a difference; I am sure of this having first kayaked at Pensarn Harbour when I was just 13. Another 27 years later and I am just as excited about kayaking at Pensarn Harbour and the difference that outdoor activities can make to both groups and individuals.
