Partnering with others
As a church in Coventry we have a big mission but we also believe it is right to support those with a specialist mission in the local area and those who are working in other countries where local support for mission is not available. This section of the website shows the organisations we support as a church both with finance and prayer. Many individuals within our community support other organisations as well.
Uganda link
The church has developed links with Baptists in Uganda over the a number of years. In 2014 we sponsored a visit to the UK of Paul Kyalimpa, pastor of Rwamukoora Baptist Church. In 2018 a group of six from the church visited Uganda.
We hope this will lead to a long standing relationship between the two churches and also with the Kyenjojo Baptist Association.
Wycliffe Bible Translators
Simon & Lynn Caudwell have a long standing relationship with Queen’s Road. They spent 13 years with Wycliffe in Ethiopia, and for a good part of that time living with the Basketo people, initiating and overseeing the development of a written language and the translation of Scripture into Basketo.
Changing roles
Over the years their roles have changed and they are now both work half their time for SIL International (Wycliffe) as Leadership Development consultant/trainers, This involves writing and leading courses in cross cultural leadership and team building and coaching new leaders. They are involved in developing leadership and HR strategy globally. This means they can work from their home in Hexham (using skype and other internet technologies) as well as travelling abroad.
For the other half of their time they are seconded to Redcliffe Christian College for cross cultural mission as MA lecturers and trainers in short courses on leadership and team building.
Coventry City Mission
Coventry City Mission is a registered Christian charity established in 1983. The Mission is based at Deedmore Christian Centre, Deedmore Road, next door to Eburne School in the North-East of Coventry
CCM is committed to serving the whole community by responding to identified needs, whether they be spiritual, physical, emotional or practical, regardless of age, status or background.
Coventry YFC
Coventry YFC has been operating in the city since the 1960s (and possibly before) and exists to “take good news relevantly to every young person in Coventry”. As a church we have had varying levels of involvement in its work and continue to support them.
The Light House
The Light House (Christian Care Ministry) Trust is a professional counselling service to men and women of any age or race, irrespective of their personal beliefs.
The church has financial supported the ministry since its founding in 1986 and several members have been and are involved in the work.
MAF

MAF works in close partnership with over 1,000 missions, providing flights and logistical support for their outreach to communities in developing nations
African Pastors Fellowship
The African Pastors’ Fellowship is an interdenominational fellowship of churches and individuals concerned for the growth of the Christian Church in Africa. It seeks to help through enabling and servicing pastors and their spouses to be more effective in their ministry. With the support of Christians in the UK, they provide local training courses, related literature in relevant languages and basic equipment for ministry such as books and bicycles. They aim to motivate indigenous church to provide essential welfare and support for all pastors
BMS World Mission
BMS World Mission is a Christian mission organisation, working in around 40 countries on four continents. BMS believes in holistic mission, an approach that stays true to the Christian call to evangelisation without neglecting the duty to take care of the physical needs of the poor. We have on several occasions been a BMS Action Team Training Church.
Baptist Home Mission
Home Mission is all about helping Baptist churches and individuals to reach their mission potential and bring the love of God to their communities. It is the Baptist family purse, and each year our Union has an appeal to raise money for Home Mission. The money raised funds:
Grants to local churches. These 200+ grants include church planting, renewing local churches and mission project grants. Through Home Mission hundreds of lives have been affected and many have found faith in Jesus.
Christian Aid
Christian Aid is a Christian organisation that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We provide urgent, practical and effective assistance where need is great, tackling the effects of poverty as well as its root causes.
Queen's Road supports the work of Christian Aid particularly through Christian Aid week. During times of world disasters the church has an emergency appeal which is often channeled through Christian Aid.
