The Christian Centre is a large and thriving multi-cultural Church in the heart of our city of Nottingham, with nearly 1400 people part of our vision and involved in its various ministries. With God's favour, we have become one of the larger Churches in the UK. We are passionate about the message of Jesus Christ and are comitted to making a difference in our city and beyond. Our vision statement is:

A Cathedral of Living Stones means a place where people of all ages and backgrounds come together, serve in their area of passion and use their God given gifts to make a difference. As a 'cathedral' we believe we are called to be a large, city centre Church which impacts the wider Nottingham area, the UK and abroad. Our current ministries reflect our mission to reach those who are not part of Church, equip people, and serve the disadvantaged.

The Christian Centre is a 'Pentecostal' Church, part of a massive worldwide network of other similar Churches. We are affiliated to Assemblies of God and also to Evangelical Alliance. As you can see from our work helping others in Nottingham, we work in partnership with many other churches and organisations in the region.

The Church 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. Today, we are a vibrant Church of nearly 1400 people representing a wide range of ages, cultures and backgrounds. David Shearman is Senior Minister and has been leading the Christian Centre since 1977.

Nearly 80 years later, with our building at capacity, we have the opportunity to build new larger facilities - opposite our current building - to house our growing Church, which currently has to meet over three services on a Sunday. We are excited about this next step in our journey and you can find out more information in the InSpire section (under Church) of this site.
