During this time, together with our Life Groups, discipleship and pastoral care, the church
community has an opportunity to learn to become more devoted followers ofJe5US.
Our vision continues to grow deeper into Jesu5. Closer as a fellowship and to reach out wider.
On the back of that in January 2025 we started a monthly setvice called The Lighthouse. along with
other churches in Gowerton & Waunarlwydd and this has continued monthly. This followed
outreached to children and the elderly in the village of Gowerton the last couple of years.
The church has continued to grow both in number, community involvement and in faith in Christ.
We WOL¢ld now be a church family of around 170 adults with 45 children and youth
Membership & Pastoral Care
We do not as a church 'run' strict membership. however we do encourage a position where we as
leaders know those who wish to make Dunvant Christian Fellowship IDCFI their spiritual home. As
this enables a two-way accountability to be encouraged, receive care from the leadership and
demonstrate5 a willingness to give and serve from the whole 'member5hip'.
We continue to seek to develop a Care Net that starts most importantly with encouraging 'member
to memberf care. We also believe the Life Groups form an important part of this Care Net in how we
grow and care for one another. Our church workers, have increased their time seNing in this area as
well as the Leadership Team and other volunteers in the church who vislt the sick, elderty etc. As our
elderly base has increased there has been many good and profitable hours spent serving in this area.
We were also able to baptise 2members.
Our prayer team continues to grow and is used most Sunday momings
