Rock Church Coventry

A very warm welcome to you

Jesus noticed people others overlooked. He listened, loved, restored dignity, brought healing and gave hope….and He is still in the business of doing the same today! He is alive, the risen Saviour of the world. He is close to the broken-hearted and to those who feel crushed by life.

We believe meeting Him is the best thing that can happen to anyone and we hope our web site will give you options to find out more about Him. Please drop us a line. We’d love to hear from you.

Please note: As we wanted a more intimate setting, we decided to no longer meet at the Halo Centre although we were very grateful for our time there. We now meet in homes around the CV3 1FZ area. 
Please call Steve on 07551314958 for details — we look forward to meeting you.

A church centred around Jesus 

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

We have found Jesus to be the source of salvation, hope and healing, so we seek to centre everything on Him as revealed through scripture and follow the leading of the Spirit.

Taking a Look at Christianity — TLC course

Curious about the Christian faith? 

TLC is a relaxed and safe space to explore what Christianity is about and ask the questions that matter to you. This is run both on line or in person. 

We’d love to hear from you. If you have any questions, like to receive a free Bible, or would simply like to find out a little more, please call or email us. If you feel uncomfortable in groups and prefer one on one, either on line or over a coffee, please let us know.

Free: Care and Connection Workshops

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or finding relationships difficult?

You are not alone.

Care and Connection is a free online wellbeing workshop for adults, offering a supportive, gentle space to reflect, connect and learn simple practical tools for everyday wellbeing.

The sessions are facilitated by trained coaches with trauma-informed training, not therapists. We offer wellbeing education, encouragement and practical tools rather than counselling or therapy.

There is no fixing, judging, diagnosing or pressure to share. We aim to listen with care, offer encouragement, and share simple tools within clear and respectful boundaries.

There is no Christian content or agenda, and the workshops are open to people of any faith or none.

How The Workshops Work

All sessions are free. The first session is an introductory session, giving participants a chance to experience the group, meet us, try some simple tools, and see whether Care and Connection feels helpful and suitable for them.

For those who would like to continue, we then offer further sessions focused on creating a greater sense of safety within ourselves. These build on the same themes as the introductory session, including understanding stress, grounding, self-compassion, emotional awareness and learning to respond to ourselves with more care.

After this, participants may have the opportunity to join a further free 8-session workshop. This continues to deepen the same foundation, while also exploring how we can create a greater sense of safety in our external world, including relationships, communication, boundaries and everyday pressures.

There is no pressure to continue from one stage to the next. We want participants to feel supported, with continuity where helpful and flexibility where needed.

Together, we may explore simple ways to understand stress, settle the nervous system, build self-compassion and practise healthier connection with ourselves and others.

All exercises are optional, and there is no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with.

Adults 18+ only
Online by Zoom
Places are limited so the groups can remain small and carefully held.

Before joining, we ask everyone to read and agree to a short participant agreement. This helps keep the group clear, respectful and appropriate for everyone. Once we have received your participant agreement, we will confirm whether a place is available and send the session link.

Sessions are usually held from 7.30-8.30pm on Tuesdays or Thursdays.
If this time is not possible for you, please contact us, as other time slots may be available.

Please note: these workshops are not suitable for crisis support or urgent mental-health needs.

About Church:

We are a growing, relational, Bible-based church plant committed to following Jesus together in authentic community. We value humility, teamwork and accountability, and we are supported through ongoing relational oversight and input from a number of experienced church leaders.

Although we are not yet a registered charity, we have an established leadership team with clear internal accountability, shared decision-making and a commitment to serving with integrity. We also maintain strong relationships with trusted leaders beyond our local church, who provide encouragement, wisdom and external accountability as we continue to grow and develop.

Sundays, we gather from 10.30am to 12.30pm for breakfast, conversation, worship, prayer, and either interactive Bible study or Bible teaching.

Children and Church

We highly value children and young adults, which is why they are not separate from the life of the church as we believe in them.

We do not run separate children’s work. Children remain under the supervision of their parents or carers and are encouraged to be part of the gathering in a way that is safe, relaxed and appropriate for them. 

We believe parents and carers have the primary role in introducing their children to the their loving Creator. The home is the safe, fun, caring, supportive, inspiring environment that our kids get to learn to worship, understand about creation and the bible. Church is just an extension of this. As a church, we also support families in that calling.

Online Parenting Workshop

Parenting can be full of love and joy, but it can also feel exhausting, confusing and overwhelming. Our online parenting workshop offers encouragement, practical tools and a supportive space for parents and carers of children of any age.

None of us gets parenting right all the time. We all face challenges, and it can make a difference to learn alongside others who are on a similar journey.

Our parenting workshops are a place to gain practical ideas, be encouraged and if you’d like, share and make friends. There’ll be teaching, discussion and time to ask questions in a relaxed and welcoming environment. We hope you’ll leave with some ideas to try and the support of a community that’s learning together.

Our Sunday meetings take place in homes and other local venues, so please contact us before visiting for the latest details.

We also meet midweek in small groups to gather to the Spirit, have Bible discussion, prayer, support, friendship and relaxed socials. Our groups are, personal and intentionally welcoming.

We would love to hear from you

Whether you are curious about the Christian faith, interested in our online support groups, thinking of visiting a church gathering, or simply want to connect, we would love to hear from you.

Our Background and where we’re heading.

We are a small group of friends who really enjoy church. It is based on friendship with one another and God.

Everyone loved being around Jesus and we also enjoy gathering to His presence as we worship and listen to Him. Church should be like a family. For some, family was not so great, but as a church we get to follow the One who has promised abundant life. 

Have you ever been on a family holiday which was ruined by someone arguing or insisting what they wanted? Let’s be honest, most of us have done that at some point! We’ve all had our grouchy moments! Especially if there is resentment mixed in, as there is unresolved history. That is what the bible calls sin and it can easily destroy a beautiful atmosphere. A Christian is one who is conscious when they upset God and others and actively works to be a healthier person. It’s part of what we believe Jesus was talking about when He said “Unless, a person takes up their cross daily and follows Me, they cannot be My disciple”. 

Learning to comfort others, keep confidence, serve others, learn to turn off our phones, be present, be a great Dad or Mum, understand ourselves and grow into maturity, is a vital part of being a Christian. It is not just about attending a meeting! Jesus said “I have not come for the healthy but the sick” The Pharasees thought they had it all together – healthy! But it was those who knew they needed to change that Jesus came along side and loved and helped. It is these ‘poor of spirit’ that have been declared, by God, to be free from guilt as Jesus paid the full price! Amazing! 

If you want to grow as a person this is the place for you. 

He loves us deeply. But it is amazing how, when we have the courage to open up and we’re willing to work on ourselves, we can create positive, supportive environments, called churches.

This church began organically rather than through a formal public launch. We are not anti structure or independent or anti policy.

We are still at the early stages. We are not currently a registered charity but we have a great small internal team which is led by Steve and Midge. Steve also meets with trusted Christian leaders for counsel, encouragement and accountability, and we are exploring connections with wider church networks for broader relationship and oversight.

A little about Steve and Midge: both attended Bible college and have spent around 85 years serving in Bible-honouring church communities. They have served in and led teams, supported leaders and come alongside many individuals and families. Their wider experience also includes work in schools, council youth projects, community settings, and many years of continued learning and courses.

Their journey has also included teaching, training, pastoral care, cross-cultural mission, community support and team leadership. They have lived, trained and served in Hong Kong, Malaysia and New Zealand including eight years in Cambodia involved in church planting, setting up community projects and supporting families in poorer communities.

We carry a deep conviction that God’s heart is toward the broken, weary, wounded and lost. Isaiah speaks of the Lord coming to bind up the broken-hearted and comfort those who mourn (Isaiah 61:1-3), words Jesus later read and fulfilled in Himself (Luke 4:16-21). Ezekiel 34 also reveals God’s concern for the weak, sick, injured, straying and lost sheep.

Our trauma-informed learning has helped us understand the importance of safety, healthy connection, emotional honesty, wise boundaries and compassionate care as part of learning to love God and one another well.

We believe the journey of following Jesus begins with being born again and receiving the grace, love and forgiveness of God (John 3:3-7). From there, we learn that the values of God’s kingdom are often very different from the values of this world. Discipleship includes enjoying God’s unconditional grace and allowing that grace to shape us: examining our lives with humility, taking responsibility when we hurt others, seeking forgiveness where needed, and receiving the power of the Holy Spirit.

As part of our wider community care, we are beginning to offer Care and Connection Workshops: free online wellbeing sessions for adults, with no Christian content or expectation of church involvement. They are open to people of any faith or none, and are offered unconditionally as community support, not as a route into church membership or Christian commitment. We personally have found it life changing and wanted to offer this to others. 

Whether you are exploring faith, returning to faith, looking for fellowship, or drawn to a small church community shaped by Scripture, the Holy Spirit, honest relationships, prayer, worship and serving others, please do feel free to contact us. We would love to meet you.
