[edit] History
The Christian Centre began as a small gathering of Christians meeting in a house in 1928 in the Lace Market. It quickly became a small Church, growing steadily over the following decades and became based at its current premises on Talbot Street in the 1970's.
[edit] Today
Today, the church represents a wide range of ages, cultures and backgrounds. David Shearman is Senior Minister and has been leading the Christian Centre since 1977.
The church has embarked on a multli-million pound project to build a new facility, as the current building is at capacity, and multiple services must be run to accommodate the congregation. In 2001 the church purchased land directly opposite the current building and now has planning permission to build an 1800-seat auditorium building.
[edit] Ministries
The church has an extensive Social Responsibility programme reaching the disadvantaged in the city and beyond with a number of different projects. It's members are also involved in International Development work overseas, including "The King's Village", a school and medical centre in Northern Ghana.
Children's and youth ministries, a seniors group and work with students all take place; the church also runs an Independent Christian day School, The King's School, catering for age 4 to GCSE pupils.
