Who are we ?

Tabernacle consists of ordinary people of all backgrounds and ages. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ; we believe Him to be the Son of God who gives us peace and joy through His healing, forgiveness and new life.

We are not perfect, but Jesus is changing us and helping us to understand and experience the love of God.

All of this involves us in all sorts of activities. We have also learned that people do need people. If you think that we may be able to help you in some way, then do get in touch. Come and visit us on a Sunday. Our morning worship is lively with prayer and good singing; it is all-age worship, so families and singles meet together for the first twenty minutes. On most Sundays, children and young people go to their separate group. Evening worship tends to be even more lively, but obviously there are not so many children there.

What do we do ?
Our Purpose is to reflect God's love in our Church, Community and the World.

Our Calling is to build up Christ's church to reach the lost and to extend God's Kingdom, first in Penarth and then wherever our committed disciples live.

Nationally we are members of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Evangelical Alliance. Locally we are members of the South Wales Baptist Association (BUGB) and 'Cytûn' (pronounced 'cuteen') Penarth & District Council of Churches.

Our Mission
We define mission as the offering of the whole Christ, by the whole church, for the whole person, throughout the whole world.

* Evangelism - suitably gifted people are helped and equipped to share the message of good news. Currently we use the "JESUS VIDEO" which we loan or give to anyone who will watch it. Those who show interest are invited to "Alpha" a course for non-Christians.

* Social Action - we demonstrate our care by seeking to serve the wider community.
"HOME ACCESS" has now been formed as a separate charitable trust, but is still very much a Tabernacle ministry. It offers an Accommodation-Finding Agency, a Bond Bank and follow up service by volunteer workers.

* Social Justice - we are committed to working for justice at home and overseas.
