Pastor Andrew Love’s Welcome
Since April 2013 I have been serving as Pastor at Tabor Baptist Church. Tabor’s history can be traced right back to the 17th Century and we are one of only two churches left in the old town.
However, we completed a refurbishment of the church interior in 2015 and so inside you will find tasteful decor and comfortable seating. We also now have disabled access via a ramp and special 4×4 electric wheel chair.
Our congregation is made up of all ages and mainly from Llantrisant and Beddau. About 50 gather on a Sunday morning to worship God and slightly fewer at night. Our services are simple, consisting of hymn singing, prayers, Bible readings and preaching. No collections are taken and a very warm welcome is given.
Our aim is to present the good news of Jesus Christ by all means to all people. We are convinced that the good news of Jesus is the only solution for mankind’s sin. Jesus, God’s Son, came into this world 2000 years ago. He came to give His perfect life as an atonement for sin. He rose again and offers eternal life to all who accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.
Sunday Services / Live Streaming
Sunday Services are now live-streamed to our Tabor Baptist Church YouTube channel, starting a few minutes before each service (11am and 5pm*), for those who are unable to attend the Church Building.
In addition to live-streaming, sermons are uploaded to to the sermon page, with quick links to the last 4 sermons in the sidebar to the right.
*Evening Services are usually held at 6pm but will continue to be held at 5pm until further Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
Live-streaming Information
As a number of Covid-19 restrictions are being lifted and people are safely able to attend the Church Building (and since our initial live-streaming problems have been resolved), there will no longer be an ‘alternative service’ posted to the website. Instead, people can watch the Service from start to finish via the live-stream, if unable to attend.
As the whole service is live-streamed, some live-streams/services may not be made public on our YouTube channel and the congregation/church members will be sent a link to access the video. Please do not share this with others outside of the church. In addition, some live-streams may be deleted after a specified period of time.
Weekly Prayer Meeting
This is held on Wednesday* Night at 7:30pm in the Church.
(*Usually held on a Tuesday night but will continue on Wednesday until further Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.)
