Welcome to our Students page! Whether you’re starting university, returning for another year, or are a perennial student you’re really welcome here. If you don’t know the area well, we are in Finham which is a lovely suburb of Coventry. It’s only a bus journey/cycle ride from the two local unis (Coventry and Warwick).
This is general introduction (you can find more on this website or our Facebook or instagram but hopefully it will give you a feel of who we are. We’d love to welcome you to one of our services (or to our coffee shop!).
At Saint Martin’s we love Jesus and see everyone who comes here as an important part of the body of Christ. Our church family ranges in age from 1 year olds to 80+ year olds (we’ve promised not to reveal their ages!). We are a CofE friendly, family community who have loved having students in the past.
We have two services every Sunday: a Traditional Communion Service at 9am and a Contemporary Service at 10.45am. We live stream our 10:45am service to FB and YouTube every week. There’s also an ‘unplugged’ service at 6.30pm on the first Sunday of the month. We are affiliated with New Wine.
We also have a coffee shop that is loved by the community and church members alike. It has two trained chefs, a host of wonderful volunteers and fresh cakes/lunches/hot drinks available. It’s open Tues-Fri 9-2 & Saturday 9.30-12.30. Our student welcome pack includes a gift card for a coffee and light meal at Revive!
We love the community we are part of in Finham and as well as the coffee shop we have a Gospel Choir, a monthly Repair Cafe ,and allotments which grow produce for the cafe and are also open for the local community to use.
When you arrive, tell our welcome team that you are a visiting student as we would love to give you a simple student welcome pack.
