Welcome to the 3 churches in North Cardiff

The Church is more than a building. On this website you are very welcome to find out more about our lively three church communities. Why not have a browse, or get in touch for a chat. We offer a warm reception and an ability to listen, along with support for the wider community.

Our vision is to build our Church into a vibrant and confident community which will grow as we share together in worshipping, praying, caring and serving.

Watch our 10 home-grown Living Faith videos.  Thought-provoking reflections, props and music from parishioners and the community. Video resources that can also be used by most ministries too.
