beulah united reformed church
Beulah is an outward looking church, interested in Rhiwbina and concerned about
the wider world. We describe our style of church life as liberal but lively
encouraging participation in worship in which we mix traditional hymnody and new
music from the world church. We encourage a thoughtful faith, questioning and
exploring together what we understand the Bible and faith means today. We have
adopted a range of worship patterns. Our main service is Family Worship on a
Sunday morning. This gathers all ages together, there is a Junior Church
catering for all ages and we have a crèche. The service lasts an hour and a
quarter or so and there is coffee after the service. In addition to the service
on a Sunday there is one other mid-week service. Meeting Point is primarily a
gathering where we share readings for the week and pastoral news. Beulah Church
affirms that Christ welcomed all into his company without exception. He did not
judge who people were, though he challenged how people behaved towards each
other. We believe God calls all kinds of people to work and witness in his name
and we want all to feel welcome and included in all aspects of Beulah’s life and
leadership. We acknowledge that we have not always lived up to Christ’s standard
of warmth and welcome. But, we testify that when his Spirit is at work amongst
us we are a people offering care and compassion to all-comers. In 2018 six URC
congregations agreed to form The Cardiff and Penarth United Reformed Church
Pastorate. The other five churches are: Bethesda URC Tongwynlais, Canton Uniting
Church, City URC, Elfed Avenue United Church, and Parkminster URC. Following the
URC call process we are delighted to welcome the Reverends Martha McInnes and
David Dean as Ministers to the Pastorate. Thus we welcome you to Beulah and
invite your contribution to the life of faith here in Beulah and beyond.
