Simon & Kate Walker
Our story
Emmanuel church began in September 2017 in Simon and Kate Walker’s home with just a handful of people. The Walkers have been involved in leading churches within the Newfrontiers network of churches for over 20 years. Sensing a fresh challenge, they moved to Cardiff from Bristol to start a new church.
The group moved in early 2018 to a local school where other people started to join them. In September 2018 we moved to Cathays Community Centre in the centre of Cardiff.
Every church is different, that’s because people and their stories are different.
The things that make us tick are:
- loving Jesus
- being friends
- understanding the Bible
- enjoying God’s presence amongst us
- helping people know Jesus for themselves.
Together we are on an adventure together for the City of Cardiff, the nation of Wales and for all the people on the planet.
We are a part of the wider Newfrontiers network of churches. We are also members of the Evangelical Alliance and follow their statement of faith.
The best way to find out what Emmanuel Church is like is to come along. Attending our Sunday meeting would be a great next step to discover more. You will be very welcome.
What to expect
Our meetings are informal and lively. Normally each week we have a talk from a passage in the Bible. The children’s activities include crafts, games, stories, praying and a snack. Our worship is lead by a band and the songs are generally contemporary in feel.
