The Lab is a missional community of followers of Jesus. We are exploring what it means to follow him on the margins of life and society in Newport, in South Wales. Visit the Life section of the website to see how we organise ourselves and what projects we are involved in. We welcome people from all church backgrounds or none.

We also are committed to spending time together, building real, authentic relationships, and encouraging one another to live lives of worship by bringing God’s justice to the world around us. The Lab is sponsored by, and given oversight from, the Church in Wales and the Methodist Church; and we have a team made from members of the Lab and pastors from both denominations which plans and guides us on our journey together.
