TABERNACLECARDIFF History and Confession of Faith

Gospel Beliefs, Form of Worship & Confession of Faith

The form of worship aims to give reverence to God, whilst at the same time giving expression to profound Christian joy. The preaching is centred around Christ, and in particular His saving death on the cross, where the thrust of the message is forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ. The church Confession of Faith is based on the 1823 Confession of Faith of the Calvinistic Methodists. Link to Gospel Message: Letters to the Soul

To Know Him and to Serve Him

We set much store in waiting upon the Lord for a gracious Divine Visitation, and at the same time working with zeal for the Gospel. We see this balance in the lives of Rowlands, Harris, Williams, Whitefield and Wesley (the Christian leaders of the 1700's), who experienced great things of God, and at the same, time toiled strenuously for the Gospel. May the Lord give us something of their blessing and their zeal for Christ.

Bible Version & Hymn Books

Tabernacle Cardiff uses the Authorised Version of the Bible, and sings primarily from Christian Hymns. A hymn book of Vernon Higham's hymns is also used at the services. The church plans to use the new hymn book "Christian Worship", which is to be published in 2009.

Formation & Pastors

Tabernacle Cardiff is an independent church formed in 2003. Services were established in a rented hall (Heath Citizens Hall) during September 2003. To this day, the church continues to meet in Heath Citizens Hall. Although the fellowship is actively looking for alternative premises, there is much gratitude for the Lord's provision of a very suitable place to worship and preach the Gospel.

Rev Dewi Higham was invited to be pastor of the church in September 2003. At the same meeting, the Pastor’s father, Rev Vernon Higham was appointed Pastor Emeritus.
