The Association of Festival Churches (AFC) is a national charity supporting historic church buildings that remain open, cared for and well used, though no longer sustaining regular weekly services.
Penarth Ministry Area is a community of five churches centred on this attractive and vibrant seaside town just a few miles south-west of Cardiff and the adjacent village of Llandough.
We are five churches across four parishes, at the heart of York, serving a diverse mix of residents, students and visitors. Each church plays a distinctive role in sharing the gospel of Christ in our city.
