Gilgal Baptist Church, Porthcawl

GiveYourViews

Much has changed in the past two years and now, as we look forward to moving back into our Church’s home, it is a good time to pause and reflect on what the Lord has been saying and doing among us during our time away.

At this present time the leadership team would like to ask the congregation to help us begin this process, by thoughtfully and prayerfully answering three simple questions in a short survey which you can download by clicking the button below.

All information you provide will be treated as confidential and used only to give the deaconate guidance regarding the church's vision for the future.

At Gilgal our mission statement is "To know Jesus better and to make Him better known". Our philosophy is that we should place Jesus centrally to everything we do, whether that is evangelism, reaching out to the community, or in demonstration of our values to others.

Family friendly ...... meeting their needs

Meeting the needs of the modern, busy family isn't easy. That's why over the next two years we are redeveloping our church to provide a choice of worship styles, better teaching for children and activities the family can enjoy. Why not be part of that?!

You'll find a friendly welcome at Gilgal Baptist Church, from the time you step through the door until you leave after tea and coffee. Our aim is that, whether you are a regular member of the church, new to the church, or just visiting Porthcawl you will take away a true feeling of fellowship and warmth.

WHAT THEY SAYTESTIMONIALS

We have made so many friends at Gilgal. The church is full of welcoming faces.

Rachel

“There are so many great things about Gilgal. I have found a home here.”

Rob

“We looked at a number of churches when we moved - Gilgal just felt like the right place to be.”

Alison

We believe that the only way to the Father is through Jesus the Son. Our faith and teaching of scripture reflects this belief and is central to our church life.

The Bible is the written word of God. Studying the Bible is key to having a firm faith and to grow in faith. The Bible sets out the truth for us, teaching us the way to live our lives. Even if you do not read the Bible, its teachings have an effect on your life - our whole legal system is based around the 10 commandments.

Jesus IS ALIVE! yes alive. Jesus conquered sin and death, he died so that we might live. He is the living God who will come again in glory to bring us new eternal life.
