Our History

In 1969 David and Bobbie Shearer felt called by God to start a church in Tamworth, so they gathered with a small group of fellow believers in their home. With God’s blessing the church grew and they began to meet at Coton Green School. As more people joined, the need for a more permanent church home became apparent and through generous giving, a plot of land was purchased in 1984 on the edge of Tamworth and Lichfield. The Coton Centre was built and opened its doors in 1992.

In 2022 Bishop Dave Carr joined the team to help progress the church. We are embracing new opportunities to minister into Tamworth and Lichfield and are pursuing a fresh vision to reach our communities for Christ. We are experiencing new visitors each week with people seeking to make us their spiritual home. The Coton Centre is situated in a beautiful campus which provides much opportunity for future growth. The Church is part of the Evangelical Alliance and Tamworth Churches Together (TCC).
