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.
