Maybe you’re curious. Maybe you’ve just moved to Kenilworth.
You might be young, older, married, single or just trying to work out where you fit.
An open and welcoming community of people discovering new ways to love and serve Kenilworth, inspired by the life of Jesus bringing God’s hope and light to all.
Our Vision
Wherever you are from you are welcome. Whether you are exploring God for the first time or if your faith has been built over the years we’d love to share your journey with you.
Community
Our community at St Nicholas with St Barnabas has been worshipping God here for over 700 years. Each day the example of Jesus inspires us to build on this foundation as we try to be more like him by loving and serving the people of Kenilworth.
Worship
As a church family we meet to worship together, valuing the diversity of each other’s traditions and learning new ways to encounter God through them.
Word
We are open to God’s word and respect that he speaks to us in different ways. We welcome each other’s questions and explore them together. We don’t always get it right but are brought together by our common goal to become more like Christ.
Love & Serve
God inspires us to look outwards and find new ways to bring his love to our town. Our building is open and all are welcome to come and meet, talk, sit, look or pray. But we listen to God’s prompting to take us out to experience new ways to bring his hope and light to all.

What to expect
As a diverse community we appreciate different ways of gathering to worship but essentially our heart to reflect God’s love is the same.
Take a look at the different styles of services we run and see which suits you. We recommend you come to Cafe Sunday (3rd Sunday at St Barnabas Church, Albion Street) to meet new people and find out what St Nicholas & St Barnabas is all about. You’ll be warmly welcomed!
