Canley Community Church – A welcoming church in Coventry

Welcome! We’re a friendly, open church family that loves to make everyone feel welcome.

Our main Sunday service is at 11am. You can find out about all our weekly activities (including things for families and children), find out about how students can fit in, listen to some of the Sunday morning teaching or just have a look around!

As followers of Jesus, we’re committed to the Bible. It shapes how we meet together, how we worship and how we serve our local community. We are convinced that God is just as relevant to our world today as when the Bible was written. So, we seek to share with everyone who He is.

As a church family, we are involved in lots of activities in the Canley area. We host many different people in our buildings. Our members are also involved in a wide range of community groups across Canley.
