Ebenezer Chapel occupies a prominent position in the centre of Cefn Mawr and is well known by people living in and around the community.
Its location is pivotal to both Crane Street and Well Street; as this is the main area identified for Commercial regeneration highlighted as a priority by the National Assembly for Wales.

The Ebenezer Chapel Project is a key priority for the T.H.I. it is now the largest project and is considered by DVCP and Wrexham County Borough Council to be the flagship for the continued regeneration and conservation of Cefn Mawr and the surrounding area. It is also seen as the most complex, involving the refurbishment of two buildings and the demolition of one to make way for the principal open space in the centre of Cefn Mawr referred to as Cefn Mawr Square.
The stage 2 application to the Heritage Lottery Fund made in May 2005 was accepted in August 2005. The chapel is currently under construction and being adapted to include access for those with disabilities and wheelchair access. It will be secure with toughened glass and CCTV to deter vandalism. Within the construction and design of the building there are features of specific interest and value such as the stained glass windows and the high wooden panelled ceilings. From the balcony there are panoramic views of the Dee Valley and the Viaduct and tourists could view parts of the Historical Walk.

A Community Consultation took place in April 2005 where local people were invited to view the plans for the Chapel. Of the people questioned 97% were in favour of regenerating Ebenezer Chapel and ideas put forward included

• art exhibition space
• touch screen displays
• community cinema
• coffee shop
• Credit union, conference facilities, market stalls and a restaurant.

The main theme for the development of Ebenezer Chapel will be around the historical aspects of a once thriving industrial and commercial community serving a largely rural area of approximately 6-8 miles while trying to incorporate some of the above elements if viable.

The main part of the chapel is built with traditional Cefn Mawr Stone and the atrium is a modern structure of steel and glass. The property offers considerable floor space on two levels.

• The bistro will be based on the first floor and take advantage of the traditional element of the building with décor to reflect the Welsh culture
• The exhibition space will form the main part of the more modern area combining the mix of a traditional and modern theme in keeping with the building itself.
• There will be tables and chairs on the outside space known as ‘Cefn Mawr Square’ during the warmer weather and this can also be utilised at Christmas for a tree and carol services.
