Ebenezer was an Independent (Congregationalist) chapel in Inkerman Street, Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Services at Ebenezer were conducted in the Welsh language.
The chapel was established in the 1880s after a number of members were expelled from the neighbouring Tabernacle church.[1] The building was designed by the prolific chase builder, Thomas Thomas of Landore, at a cost of around £2,000. It could accommodate 800 people.[2]
T. Orchwy Bowen became minister in 1909 and remained until 1921. In 1917 he rejected a call to minister at Trefgarne Church in Pembrokeshire.[3]
The chapel remained open longer than any other Congregationalist chapels in the town, apart from Capel Als and Tabernacle.[4]
