Supporting The Building Project

The Building Project is a big step of faith for this church, both individually and corporately. For over 150 years we have lived off the sacrifice made by those who first built the church. Now we have the privilege of investing in this major project which we trust will be of value for many years to come.

Our vision is to produce a building which will be a resource for the community and provide a means of spreading the gospel in this part of Coventry.

We acknowledge that we are wholly reliant on God for his provision and guidance in all things. However, we know that God uses people like us and you to achieve His purposes.

He has greatly encouraged us with the sacrificial giving from among the congregation here. We want to invite and encourage you to join with us in supporting this project.

2 sermons were preached at the church on 7 Principles of Giving before the 2 Gift Days in October 2011. If you would like to read the notes click here.

Alternatively you can hear them here: 18th September and 2nd October

Prayer support

It is a great privilege to be able to commit every aspect of this scheme to the Lord in prayer, so please join with us in praying:

God uses this scheme to extend greatly His Kingdom here in this part of the City of Coventry.
That the necessary funds will be raised to complete the project
For wisdom from God in all of our decision making and planning

Financial Support

We rely entirely on the giving of our members and regular attendees to finance our ministries and mission. We give thanks and praise to God for his gracious provision of over £380,000 so far. We need to raise at least a further £320,000 to allow us to proceed to construction.
