What is a Church?
Is it a Building?
Is it a Religious Organisation?
Is it a Pious Social Club?
None of the above!
A Church is a group of people:
* believing in the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins through His death on a cross
* receiving a new spiritual life through His resurrection from the dead
* seeking to keep day to day living under the control of that spiritual life
* trying to show the love and compassion of Jesus in a misguided and confused world
* looking forward to the return in triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ
And THE Church is the worldwide fellowship of all such groups, regardless of the denominational label adopted
Welcome to Our Church
We at Aberkenfig Bible Church are a Church in the New Testament mode serving Jesus Christ and in word and deed bringing His Good News to those around us. We seek to show the love and compassion of Jesus in action - to children, families, the old, the perplexed, the bereaved, and the sick. Our vision is not just for Aberkenfig, but extends to Bridgend County Borough, to Wales, to Britain, and to the World.
We are independent of any denomination or group, but we are members of the Evangelical Alliance.
You will find on these pages details of some of our beliefs, history, meetings and activities. Please come and visit us.
You'll find us in the old Lyric Cinema, Pandy Road, Aberkenfig, near Bridgend, South Wales
Why "Bible Church"?
In these days we hear differing opinions about life, ethics, morals, society, the world, and the universe; which can be very confusing. At Aberkenfig Bible Church we base our beliefs and preaching firmly on the teaching of the Bible which we consider to be the revealed Word of God. Unlike changing opinion, this Word has stood the test of time. Along with many others down through the ages, we have found by personal experience that:
* "Your Word is a lamp to my feet, a light to my path"
* "How can a young person clean up their act? By acting on Your Word"
* "In my distress I cried to the Lord, and He heard me"
* "Whoever hears these words of Mine and does them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock."
