The foundation stone was laid on 20 November 1965, and the church was dedicated the following September. A large extension was built to the rear of the church in 1992. The church gained listed status in 2001, with the listing giving as a reason: ''As an individually accomplished design, Cyncoed Methodist Church helps to define the architectural standard for post-war religious buildings in Wales''.<ref>{{cite web|title=British Listed Buildings|url=https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300025945-cyncoed-methodist-church-church-only-cyncoed#.YB5llWfLfIW |access-date=6 February 2021}}</ref>
