History of Our Fellowship

From Cinema to Church

History in Pictures
Frontline Bible Church was founded in 1989, and began as Frontline Christian Fellowship meeting in the Y.M.C.A. Bridgend. John and Joan Marshall were called to the pastorate in 2001 and the following year the church moved to its present location in Aberkenfig.

The Old Lyric Cinema was purchased and work began on renovating the building. As the work began, a questionnaire was taken around the village to find out what facilities the local people wanted most. Three requests were immediately obvious: a cafe, a youth club and a children's club. The cafe opened first, then the youth club followed by the children's club.


John and Joan Marshall felt that God was calling them to go to other pastures and so left A.B.C at the end of September 2006. Pastors John and Joy Kingdon were then ordained as Senior Pastors on October 1st 2006.

The following is a pictorial history of the renovation of the building.

This would be one of many



The new floor arrives



Taking Shape



Let there be lights



Gallons of paint required



The first congregation waits outside



The cafe also opens to the public
A suitable building is found
