Before we opened the Jesus Centre in 2002, a typical conversation with a new friend when we wanted to invite them along to a Sunday meeting might go something like this: “Hello, I’m from Jesus Fellowship Coventry.” “Ok, great, nice to meet you. I’m a believer too.” “Cool. Would you like to come along tonight?” “Sure, where do you meet?” “ Well, …ah……it was the Sports Centre last week… or was it the Scout Hut…doh …. I’ll get back to you.”

Week by week, in an assortment of halls and venues that might or might not be available when you wanted them. We were a nomadic congregation in those days, as we trekked from sports centre, to dance hall, to scout hut – and even to a farmhouse in deepest Warwickshire!

Fast-forward to the present and the Coventry congregation now meets in our very own Jesus Centre, pleased to be able to invite one and all to “Come and have a cuppa with us at the Jesus Centre! It’s up on Lamb Street – big building with the rainbow all over the walls… you can’t miss it!”

The Jesus Centre has loads on and it’s kept us busy – but it’s also become a home for a growing congregation and a feature on the map of Coventry.
