Built 1887 and located at 104 Old Mount Druitt Road, Mt Druitt.

Wesleyan Church. Typical 19th century church. Constructed of hand-made bricks with tall, narrow windows. Note the newer extension on the right in the top photograph. This covers what was originally the entrance. The present day entrance (obscured by trees to the left) was added at the same time. A single storey brick building with gabled ended galvanised iron roof. The building is of simple design with an "L" plan and entrances at each end.

Built on land donated by Frederick Emert in 1886 and was adjacent to the Emert's family home, Siglingen (see elsewhere), which is now part of the Bethel Christian School.

Since 1976 the church has been the Bethel Christian Assembly Church.
