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.
