Two nearby churches in Coventry amalgamated in late 2018 in an initiative which will help both churches in differing circumstances.
In what is described as ‘an enfolding process’ the small church with diminishing resources was lovingly taken in by a close neighbour church to form one new church in two locations.
Lower Ford Street Baptist Church (LFSBC), which was founded in 1857, had experienced blessing and growth in recent years. The church undertook a major refurbishment in 2014 and holds two morning services in order to accommodate all those who attend. This gives the church the happy problem of often needing more space.
