Activities and achievements The charity operates a non-denominational church, Canley Community Church which meets at Charter Avenue. Coventry, CV4 8DA. The Trustees aim to provide well-furnished premises to cater for the wide range of activities undertaken in the buildings. The Church was established in November 1956 on its current site, and now has a formal membership of approximately 45 in number. The church has operated a number of activities throughout the year including Sunday services Mid-week house groups and Bible study groups Mid-week craft groups and social activitie5 (eg Cameo) A temi-time community café on two days a week Other community activities Similarly, the church has operated the following activities for children and young people Sunday morning children's groups Mid-week carers and toddlers, groups Friday after-school youth café Monday evening youth Bible study John Walters has continued to be supported in his work as a missionary overseas. In addition, gifts have also been provided to Christian ministries where the church has a connection. In order to perform these activitie5, and achieve its objectives, the Charity has employed the following full and part time workers.. Mr D Preston- Pastoral Community Worker (retired 31 August 2023) Mr T Houston - Pastoral Community Worker (commenced 1 May 2023) Ms M Brooker- Church Community Worker Ms L Cutts- Catering Manager Ms C Howarth - Catering Assistant A cleaner was employed on a part time basis to 31 July 2023. Whilst the church does employ and support these workers, it is the work of every member of the church, employed or not. that will make the difference in the church achieving its aims. This is done by the church members being involved in the everyday life of the community, in public teaching and worship, and also in administration. Much of this work is done privately, without recognition and the hours and the value of that time cannot be quantified.
