The Church was established in 1866 following a visit of Charles Spurgeon to Newport. A chapel was erected in Alma Street and opened in 1875, serving the congregation until 1976 when the building was demolished due to the redevelopment of the Pillgwenlly area of Newport. This building was constructed in 1977 and the name was changed from Alma Street Baptist Church to Emmanuel Evangelical Church.
