Pastoral Care and Support

Porth United Reformed Church seeks to be a community which cares for its members, and for others in need in the locality. Each member offers practical help, visits and prays for others as they are able.

In particular, the church elects Elders to take pastoral charge of the church, and also to look after practical matters to do with the buildings, finance, and so on. A list of the current serving elders and their duties can be found on the "Contact us" page.
 
Porth United Reformed Church shares a paid ordained minister with Castle Square United Reformed Church, Trefforest.
