About our Church
Our church was formed in 1981 as an independent evangelical church assembly in Llandrindod Wells. The church has met in what used to be a bakery on Middleton Lane just behind Barclays Bank and J.O. Davies Spar.
In August 2020, we began meeting at the Rock Baptist Church due to the space restrictions imposed by the Covid pandemic; but who we are as a church family remains the same. Find out more as you scroll through this page.
“The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.” – Psalm 126:3
Our Core Beliefs
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Every word is true and trustworthy, and it is our only authority for faith and practice.
We believe the Bible teaches that Salvation is by God’s grace alone through the work of Jesus Christ.
We believe that worship should be reverent and worthy of God. Our meetings are very straightforward and consist of prayer, hymn singing, Bible reading and preaching.
As a church body, these are the doctrinal beliefs that unite us and we adhere to:
The Scriptures of Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, being inspired, infallible and inerrant as originally give. As such, they are sole authority in all matters of faith and practice, for what they teach is God’s will for His Church. We believe all that is taught therein,
We believe in the only true living God, the Holy Trinity of Divine Persons in perfect unity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each of whom is co-equal and sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.
We believe in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who is holy, righteous, full of grace, mercy, compassion and love. In his infinite love He sent forth the Son, that the world through Him might be saved.
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, whose humanity and full deity were mysteriously and really joined in the unity of His divine Person. We believe in His Virgin birth, His perfect life and teaching, His substitutionary, atoning death on the cross, where He triumphed over Satan, sin and death, in His bodily resurrection and ascension into Heaven, where He now sits in glory at the right hand of God, ever living to make intercession for us.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Godhead, whose work is indispensable to regenerate the sinner, lead him to repentance, give him faith in Christ, sanctify him in the present life and fit him to enjoy fellowship with God forever, for spiritual power and effectiveness in worship, witness and work for Christ. His ministry is to the individual Christian and to the whole Church.
We believe that as a result of the fall, all men are sinful by nature. Sin pollutes and controls them, infects every part of their being, renders them guilty in the sight of a holy God, and subject to penalty which, in His wrath and condemnation, He has decreed against it.
We believe that through faith, and only faith, in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose death was a perfect oblation and satisfaction for our sins, the sinner is freely justified by God, who, instead of reckoning to us our sins, reckons Christ’s righteousness to our account. Salvation is therefore, by grace and not by human merit.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return personally, visibly and gloriously to the earth, to receive His saints to Himself and to be seen of all men. As the righteous Judge, He will divide all men into two, and only two, categories – the saved and the lost. Those whose faith is in Christ will be saved eternally, and will enter into the joy of the Lord, sharing with Him His inheritance in Heaven. The unbelieving will be condemned by Him to Hell, where they will be eternally punished for their sins under the righteous judgement of God.
Our Leadership
While our church has been blessed with a number of godly ministers in the past, we do not currently have a pastor. A number of deacons serve our church; and some of them, along with visiting speakers, supply our regular pulpit ministry.
Our current deacons serving the church are:
Stephen Davies, Victor Holmes, Rory Johnson, Reg Meredith
Our Ministry
Over the years our church has sought to be an evangelical witness in Llandrindod and the surrounding area. Along with our Sunday services, Sunday school and midweek meetings for Bible study and prayer, we have attempted to share the Gospel message in a variety of ways.
We have hosted open-air hymn sings, Harvest and Christmas Carol services, as well as Creation and missionary events. We also try to distribute Gospel tracts and literature and regularly produce a Mid Wales Calendar featuring local photos taken by members of our church with quotations from the Bible and timeless hymns as a testimony to God’s unfailing truth.
Despite being a relatively small church, we prayerfully seek to do our part to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to proclaim His Gospel throughout Mid Wales.
