Baptisms We are pleased to be involved in those special times of life like the birth of a baby, a marriage, even the passing of loved ones. The minister is very happy to talk to new parents about baptising their baby.  This usually takes place as part of morning service (10.30am) and then the family can stay and enjoy a cup of coffee after the service.

Weddings The church makes a light, attractive and comfortable setting for a wedding.  Check us out as a convenient local venue with easy access to venues for the reception.

Funerals and Memorial Services Give your loved ones a Christian funeral in a relaxed and peaceful setting. You can sing their favourite hymns and songs before going on to the crematorium or cemetery.

Our Sunday weekly services start at 10.30 am and last for about an hour. Sometimes they are led by our Minister, Rev Doreen Koffie-Williams, and on other occasions we have visiting preachers from Coventry and Nuneaton, and sometimes from further afield. You would be made very welcome at any Sunday service. If you would like to see the worship plan for the next few weeks, please touch or click on this button:

As a Christian community we are committed to sharing God's love in the Woodside area and beyond. Worshipping together each Sunday lies at the heart of all that we do. We see it as a privilege to offer praise and thanks to God through Jesus Christ. We see it as our responsibility to love and care for each other, especially as we go through difficult times. We see this care as going beyond the church family and into wider areas. We offer ourselves in service to others in many ways, locally and further afield and not least by offering our premises as a community resource, for the many and varied activities that take place here.

We are located in Woodside Avenue South, just off the A45 Kenpas Highway. If you are travelling along the A45 from the Finham roundabout in the direction of Birmingham, it’s easy. Take the last left-hand turning at Woodside Avenue before the Kenilworth Road. Look for the signpost. Coming the other way from the Birmingham direction is a bit trickier. You need to turn left on the Kenilworth Road towards Coventry, first right down Coat of Arms Bridge Road and take the second exit from the mini roundabout to Wainbody Avenue, go to the lights and turn right onto the Highway. We are then first on the left, as above.

We have 6 small babies starting baby massage on Wednesday This Month is World Autism Acceptance Month with the theme #CelebrateDifferences. This month aims to raise awareness and promote acceptance of autistic individuals. "This initiative encourages communities to move beyond simple awareness to genuine acceptance and support for autistic individuals and their families" A reminder about The Lions Message in a Bottle The Lions Message in a Bottle initiative is designed to help individuals keep their essential personal and medical details easily accessible in case of an emergency. A Message in a Bottle kit includes a plastic bottle, a form to fill in with personal and medical information, including allergies and emergency contact details, and 2 green stickers. The bottle is stored in the fridge, with one sticker placed on the fridge door and the other inside the front door. This   helps   emergency   services   quickly   identify   individuals   and   provide   appropriate assistance.   The   initiative   is   particularly   beneficial   for   older   adults   or   those   with   health conditions,    providing    peace    of    mind    and    ensuring    that    necessary    information    is readily available during emergencies. I have some in no.1 vestry, just ask me for them but also, they should be available from Gps and pharmacies. I hope you all take time to relax and reflect over this Easter time. Keep well.
