HOME ABOUT MINISTRIES RESOURCES NEW HERE CONFERENCING CONTACT In November 2011, CLM officially opened its brand-new facility, ‘The Welcome Centre’. This is the fulfilment of years of prayer, dreaming and incredible sacrifice and hard-work! It has been an amazing journey for the Church. The completion of the project is a testimony of the favour and kindness of God to us as a church and speaks of what God wants to do through CLM in the years to come The Centre has multiple function rooms and as well as being home to many of the Church’s ministries, it serves the city as a Conference Centre Monday-Friday. We are deeply grateful to those who have laboured tirelessly to see the building through to completion – those in the church and also our project partners, ProVision UK. All that said, from start to finish we have carried a deep conviction that the Church is God’s people, and buildings are merely a support to us carrying out His work of seeing lives transformed by the power of the Gospel – which remains our primary focus… CLM Church, Parkside, Coventry CV1 2HG, 024 7622 6698

HOME ABOUT MINISTRIES RESOURCES NEW HERE CONFERENCING CONTACT Senior Pastors Martin and Esther moved to Coventry in June 2012 with their 3 children – Sam, Nathan and Anna-Grace - to serve as the senior pastors at CLM. Prior to that, they served in ministry at Nottingham Christian Centre for many years. They are passionate about serving Jesus, being full of the Holy Spirit, seeing lives totally transformed by the Gospel, the presence of God, seeing the Church be all she can be and they long to be part of a move of God in the nation. Esther is thoughtful, strategic and loves snow and sunsets. Martin talks a lot, likes good coffee, Jesus Culture and playing football with his boys. Elders CLM works on the basis of team. The ministries function and thrive because of an ‘army’ of committed volunteers, serving together day-in, day-out. Among those serving are the elders. The eldership is the senior leadership team with responsibility for vision, values and spiritual oversight of the ministries and the congregation. On the team with Martin and Esther are (far left) Donald Browne-Marke - businessman, funny man, man of prayer - (second left) Tony Williams - a general legend at CLM for over 60 years – (far right) John Legate - born in the Church, strategist, worship leader. Apostolic Oversight John Partington is the National Leader of Assemblies of God Great Britain. In November 2011, Pastor Mick Bonner retired after leading CLM for 25 years. At that time John stepped in and brought senior leadership to CLM until Martin and Esther were inducted as leaders in July 2012. John now remains a part of the leadership at CLM, providing support and encouragement to Martin and Esther, inputting into the elders, acting as a wise sounding-board and provoking mission. John and his wife Andrene consider CLM to be their ‘home Church’, and are present on Sundays when they are not ministering elsewhere. CLM Church, Parkside, Coventry CV1 2HG, 024 7622 6698
