Bethel Baptist Chapel is a Strict Baptist place of worship in the village of Wivelsfield in East Sussex, England. The cause was founded in 1763 by members of a chapel at nearby Ditchling; Henry Booker and other worshippers seceded and began to meet at Wivelsfield after hearing a sermon by George Whitefield. Although some members of the new church soon returned to the Ditchling congregation, the cause thrived under Booker's leadership, and the present chapel—a building of "quiet and unassuming elegance" set in its own graveyard—was erected in 1780. It has served the Strict Baptist community continuously since then, and members founded other chapels elsewhere in Sussex during the 18th and 19th centuries. The chapel is a Grade II Listed building.

  • De Bethel Strict Baptist Chapel in Wivelsfield is een kleine kapel aan de Ditchling Road in het dorpje Wivelsfield. De kapel is in gebruik bij de Strict Baptists, een klein kerkverband in Engeland. De gemeente van Wivelsfield is gesticht door een zekere Henry Booker in 1763. Deze Henry Booker was een volgeling van George Whitefield. De eerste predikant van de gemeente was John Simmonds. In 1780 wordt een eigen kerk gebouwd op enige afstand van de Ditchling Road.

Op donderdagen wordt om 19.00 kerkdienst gehouden. Het kapelletje is gebouwd in baksteen en heeft een witgepleisterde wand.
