WE ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO TAKE BOOKINGS FOR PRIVATE PRAYER
Our Prayer Room is situated by the front door on the ground floor of the Old Blue Coat School building (OBCS), on Priory Row, opposite Holy Trinity Church (HTC).
Church Centre @ Trinity House (formerly Old Blue Coat School)
5A Priory Row
Coventry
CV1 5EX
Please be aware that the building is primarily HTC's Church Centre, and therefore we share it with Richard, the Vicar, in the room above, Arden Psychology in the room next door, and anyone who may have booked with HTC to use the other rooms in the building. The building may also be open to the public.
Individuals
We have a large, airy room which is set up for individuals or small groups. It can be divided with a screen to create more private enclaves. You are welcome to join in with our scheduled activities, but if you wish to visit for individual, private, prayer please let us know when you book, otherwise there may be others praying in the room also. Church leaders automatically have exclusive booking for the room as part of our caring for pastors ministry.
Group access for prayer
Our room has a maximum capacity of ten people.
If your group is going to be greater than ten you need to contact HTC directly to book one of their bigger rooms. There will be a separate charge for this booking. (See HTC's website for more info). If you want to access the prayer room during your visit please also contact us directly to check availability.
Open Hours
We are generally open for bookings Monday to Friday between 10.00am and 3.45pm. One of our Hosts will be available throughout your visit.
It may be possible to book earlier or later times, or a Saturday or Sunday but we cannot guarantee that a host will be available. Do contact us to enquire about this at least 5-7 working days prior to your visit, so that we can arrange a host. (All our hosts and management are volunteers).
Our Facilities
Apart from the Prayer Room pictured above, we have access to the OBCS building's shared kitchen and toilet facilities. The kitchen has a fridge for storing food, and facilities and equipment for preparing and serving hot or cold meals. There are also kettles or an urn for hot drinks, but our hosts would be happy to make hot drinks for you or your group. Catering for groups can also be arranged if you contact us in advance. Food can be consumed in our prayer room. If you require a dining area it may be possible to book 'The Yard' separately through Holy Trinity Church. (See here for more information. There will be an additional cost for this).
Charges
There is no charge for visits to the Coventry House of Prayer, but for those who can afford it, a suggested donation of £2 or £3 per hour, or £15-20 per day for individuals, to help support the work of the House of Prayer. (Please ask about group rates*). This includes tea/coffee and biscuits, exclusive or shared use of the Prayer Room and shared use of the facilities in the OBCS building.
* Group rates apply depending on the size of group and length of visit.
Please contact us for further information, to check availability and to book your visit. We look forward to welcoming you.
