Meirion Thomas was born in Pontarddulais, Swansea. He became a
Christian through the witness of school friends. He went to Bangor
University, and through Christian Union and Evangelical Movement of
Wales camp and conference ministry, became settled in Biblical
convictions and future ministry. After working among students for
over four years, he came to Malpas Road as assistant pastor for
three years.
He returned to Pontarddulais for eleven years to be the first
pastor of his home church. He then returned to Newport as pastor in
1999.
He says "You would be more than WELCOME to join us at the
church. As you can see, there are a range of meetings for all ages.
One of the lovely pictures of a church is that of a family community
of faith. We hope that you will feel that WELCOME and sense
of belonging at the church."
"One word of warning – we are imperfect people!
But we know a God who changes, perfects, and gives us grace and love
in big portions. The church respects and values its historic links
with its past heritage so ancient psalms and hymns are not dumped.
But we realise that God’s people are to be relevant to today, so new
songs and hymns are also sung. Every service is a family service,
but on special occasions we will put particular emphasis on family.
Come and see!
If we can help you in any way and be of
service to you and your family, please feel free to get in
touch."
