Authentic church for the people of Atherstone
Jesus loves Atherstone and so do we! Join us on Sundays at 3pm at The OSCA Centre and mid-week in homes across the town and surrounding villages.
We're a family-friendly, multinational Christian church in Atherstone.
Living Rock Church Atherstone meets in homes throughout the week and The OSCA Centre on Sundays. Jesus has changed our lives and we're passionate about seeing him change the lives of those in Atherstone too!
How we gather
Sundays at 3pm
The OSCA Centre
42 Owen St
Atherstone
CV9 1DG
We believe that gathering as the church should be expressed 'from house to house' and 'in the temple courts'... i.e in homes and all together on Sundays. Each setting provides something different for followers of Jesus and each is vital as we grow together.
🏡 In Homes
We love sharing our lives together and standing alongside each other in the good times or when life gets tough! We meet in homes in Atherstone and Warton throughout the week and it’s a great setting to eat together, pray together and encourage one another.
🎉 On Sundays
We get together as a church family on Sunday evenings at The OSCA Centre in Atherstone, CV9 1DG . When we meet up we keep things simple – we’ll usually sing songs and worship Jesus together, and will spend plenty of time catching up with one another. Often there will be a Bible-based message to inspire or help us in life; or we will hear someone’s ‘life-story’ that shows how faith works in practice. Sometimes we eat together and pray for one another. And we always get the kids involved in what’s going on!

FAQs
Some of the most common questions about Living Rock Church are here. If there's a question that you don't see an answer to, hit the contact button below and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
The Bible teaches us that the Church is for everyone, no matter our upbringing, history, past mistakes or opinions of who God is. The Church is for all nationalities, all ages, men, women, nurses, teachers, politicians, home-schoolers, students, retirees, dog-lovers… whoever you are, Church is for you!
Nope. We regularly have people visit us who are skeptical about Christianity and about Jesus, but are interested to find out more about what we believe. If you’ve ever had questions about life, faith, Jesus or Church then we’d love to meet you!
Sunday Celebrations usually last for 1-1.5 hours, but we always leave plenty of time before and after so that people can chat and catch up.
Potentially…! We sing together, we read the Bible together, we pray for each other, sometimes people ‘speak in tongues’ and raise their hands in the air during worship… it might seem weird at first, but these are all things that happen naturally when the Church gets together and are often our human responses to the amazing things that Jesus is doing in our lives.
Most Sundays we run HotRock – different groups for children of different ages that are designed to help them understand Jesus for themselves. Your children will feel right at home in our kids classes & creche, where they enjoy stories, games, crafts, and more! All of our volunteers are DBS checked and are passionate to make every child’s experience fun and exciting!
Whatever you feel comfortable in. We’re not a church that has a special dress code.
There is ample FREE parking when you arrive and we'll often have an amazing team of volunteers ready to welcome you and direct you as you pull up. Pop the venue into Google Maps and you'll find us!
A life group is a small group of friends who meet up on a regular basis to eat together, support one another and share life together. Groups are usually made up of 6-12 people and they primarily meet in homes across the region.
We encourage life groups to meet most weeks, but we know that life can sometimes be chaotic and busy! Many of our groups find times to meet together that work around family life, work life and social lives.
There are a wide range of life groups at Living Rock. Some are location-based, some are interest-based and some are formed around people in a similar life-stage to each other. Naturally, each group will look a little different but we encourage all groups to focus on several things no matter what/where it is: eating together, discipling one another and serving their local community.
We get it – joining a brand new group of people for the first time can be really intimidating! There’s no pressure to dive in head-first right from the beginning. We trust that over time strong relationships and friendships will form with others in the group and you’ll find a safe place where you can encourage others and be encouraged yourself.
