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.

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 Worship'. A hymn book of Vernon Higham's hymns is also used at the services. The church had previously used 'Christian Hymns' before purchasing copies of 'Christian Worship'.

Formation & Pastors

Tabernacle Cardiff is an independent church formed in 2003. Services were established in a rented hall (Heath Citizens Hall) during September 2003. The church worshipped at the hall from 2003 to 2009. Through a remarkable providence of God, the church acquired property in January 2009. The church now worships at Pen-y-wain Road.

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.
