From our Pastors...
Now that the Summer is beginning to come to a close, we look with anticipation to the Autumn. As we move into what may feel like a new phase in the life of this church we believe that this is really a return to what God placed in our hearts as we first moved to Coventry twenty years ago: To make disciples who make disciples and to transform our neighbourhoods.

This Autumn we will take on a 1:3 Rhythm for Sunday Morning. Once a month you will find church out in the community. This is not a Sunday off, but a Sunday out!  We (all of us who make up Coventry Vineyard) will be taking church out into our neighbourhoods; engaging with our local community together; building authentic relationships, sowing seeds of the kingdom by sacrificially serving and expressing God’s love in practical ways. 

For the other three Sundays a month we will gather at Sidney Stringer Academy for our corporate celebratory gathering. For four weeks from September 9th we will be meeting in the cafe area of Sidney Stringer Academy rather than the theatre in order to build on our identity as community. As you come to worship on a Sunday, please gather with an expectation to experience God's presence and contribute to our life as church together. During this time the talks will be focusing on four key moments in the book of Luke, when the Kingdom broke in and lives (and communities) were changed.
