Bethel Baptist Church is located in the centre of Whitchurch Village in the north of Cardiff and easy to get to, however you need to travel.

Active Travel

We are a mile from the popular “Taff Trail” active travel route. All the connecting roads now have 20mph speed limits and Cardiff Council plan further improvements for pedestrians and cyclists. 
There is plenty of bicycle parking nearby including some on the church premises.

Public Transport

 

Bus

We are on the 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 132, 136 and G1 bus routes from Cardiff, the Valleys and the local area. The bus stops are a few yards away on Merthyr Road.

Train

Llandaff railway station is half a mile away on the Taff Vale line from Cardiff and is served by a fast and frequent service to Pontypridd and beyond.
Note: Both bus and rail services can be less frequent or disrupted on Sundays so we would advise you to check your journey on https://www.traveline.cymru/ and https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/

Car

We encourage you to use Active Travel or Public Transport,  but if you do need to drive, we are just over a mile away from the M4 (junction 32). 
The nearest car park is just a few yards away on Penlline Road (next to our Church Hall). The car park is pay-and-display at certain times. We advise you to check the car park signs to make sure you follow the correct procedure. 
The car parks can become busy at times (eg. Remembrance Sunday) and on-street parking is limited.

Air

In the unlikely event that you are flying to Cardiff Airport and want to come straight here, most trains from Rhoose (Cardiff Airport) railway station run directly to Llandaf railway station,  but it is possible you may have to change at Cardiff Central. There is a shuttle bus between the airport and the railway station.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

 

Where and When

The church is open for activities throughout the week but if you are just seeking us out it is likely that you will want to come and be a part of our Sunday worship which is core to what we are about.
We meet in the main church building (details here) at 10:30 each week. See our calendar to find out plans for the next few weeks.

Accessibility

There is wheelchair access and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the main foyer and church lounge.

Our Sunday Services


Sunday morning services are structured but informal. They include a mix of both contemporary and traditional worship songs and hymns, prayers, readings from the Bible and a sermon that unpacks this. Occasionally we will also have specific updates about ways that God has been working through and in people and activities. Once a month we celebrate communion as part of the service. The last Sunday of the month is usually an Altogether Service when all ages are all together in one place for a more relaxed and activity based time of worship.

We aim to finish at about 11.45 to Midday when we serve free tea, coffee and cold drinks. This is a great opportunity to get to meet people.

Sunday Evening services, either in person or online, tend to be shorter and more reflective and are an opportunity to dig a little deeper into our relationship with God.
 

What about the children and youth?

We have a great programme for children of all ages, for more information about what happens please visit our Children and Youth page.

Getting Connected

 

Small Groups

It is often in smaller gatherings that we can really get to know other people. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some in the afternoon and some in the evening either in the church, in peoples’ homes or online    .
If you are interested in joining a Small Group, let us know and we can put you in touch with the small group coordinator who will be more than happy to find a group that is convenient for you and introduce you to the group leader.

Get Involved

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with the life of our church. If you'd like to find out more, please let us know.
