How can you help grow the Kingdom of God in Llandaff?

This is an exciting time in our diocese, as we embed our vision of Faith Matters which aims to transform lives through faith, education and social justice. Llandaff is one of six dioceses in the Church in Wales and covers much of South Wales.

The diocese is the most densely populated part of Wales and is hugely diverse, from the urban capital of Cardiff to post-industrial Valleys and the semi-rural Vale of Glamorgan.

Our vision is that all may encounter and know the love of God through truth, beauty and service, living full and rich lives through faith and committed discipleship.

Our Ministry Area brings together coastal, urban and semi-rural communities within Bridgend County Borough.

The Porthcawl and Kenfig Ministry Area consists of an established group of church communities embedded in a strong Welsh identity. There are established links with schools and a wide range of community groups. There are active partnerships with charities and local businesses, civic bodies and charities.
