The Christian Centre began as a small gathering of Christians meeting in a house in 1928 in the Lace Market. It quickly became a small church, grew slowly over the following few decades and became based at its current premises on Talbot Street in the city centre in 1971.

Today we are a vibrant church of over 1300 people - culturally and age diverse. We meet on Sundays for our church services, but our work extends well beyond our meetings (link to activities and also helping others). We seek to train and develop people of all ages and backgrounds and to help and encourage the disadvantaged in Nottingham and beyond.

We are a “Pentecostal” church, part of a massive global network of similar churches. Denominations can be both confusing and off-putting. Put simply, denominations are different flavours of the same thing. Pentecostal as a flavour is lively and non-traditional. 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 Christian Centre is led by a team of leaders. David Shearman – international speaker and author – is the senior leader and has been leading the church since 1977.
