Cangen o Foriah, Casllwchwr, adeiladwyd y capel cyntaf ryw dri chanllath i fwrdd yn 1890 gyda 75 o aelodau. Ond gyda chynnydd yn y nifer o'r bobogaeth yng Nghorseion death y tŷ cwrdd yn rhy fach o lawer ac felly adeildawyd y capel presennol ar yr hewl fawr yn 1901. Yn anffodus, yn sgil prinder aelodau caewyd y capel yn 2005. Un person adnabyddus a addolai yn Libanus oedd Aneirin Talfan Davies (1909-1980), bardd, llenor, a darlledwr. A branch of Moriah, Loughor, the first Libanus Chapel (trans. Lebanon)-located approximately 300 yards away from the present building - was built in 1890 with 75 members. But with the growth in the population of Gorseinon the meeting house became far too small and the present chapel was built in 1901. Sadly, due to dwindling numbers the chapel closed in 2005. A well known person who worshipped at Libanus was Aneirin Talfan Davies, poet, writer, and broadcaster.
