We are documenting the stories of New Worshipping Communities from across the Diocese of Coventry; showcasing the great work they are doing, and sharing the stories of how they got started.

Each one is unique, and we hope that as you watch their story unfold, you will find aspects of their story that inspire you.

As part of the Shared Vision of the Diocese of Coventry, each church or benefice is being encouraged to think about how they might establish and grow a ‘New Worshipping Community’. Our hope is that these videos will provide some ideas and inspiration as you think about what could be possible in your context and community.

These videos are available as downloads, or can be streamed. To download a video, click on the name of the video which appears. Clergy and Lay leaders are invited to share them in services and at PCC meetings, as you discern together where God might be seeking to do in your church and community.
