We have some exciting news to share. We are going to be linking up with Grace Church in Cardiff.
Grace Church will be planting a church on Sunday afternoons from The Church in the Avenue from Autumn 2023. We are currently working with the leadership of Grace Church and are excited that we are going to be sharing the good news of Jesus with people all around Canton and the surrounding areas.
There is a lot happening at The Church in the Avenue. Don’t worry our normal morning services will still be running every Sunday morning. These are:
Communion service starting at 10am to 10.30am
Family Service starting at 11.15am.
We serve teas and coffees as well as other refreshments from 10.45am. Come along and join us you will be warmly welcomed.
Here is a photo of our most recent meet up with Grace Church.
During this recent meeting at The Church in the Avenue we gave a presentation of the history of the church, and how it all began back in the 1930’s to the current day.
Look out for more announcements on this new church plant and when services will be running from Autumn 2023. If you would like to find out more information with regards to Grace Church, you can visit their website linked below.

Whatever the dire circumstances are in your life never think there is no way back, Jesus can bring you back from the brink and into a life of peace and abundance.
We are the Church in the Avenue and everyone is welcome to join our kind and loving community.
When we come into relationship with Jesus, he will restore us into a new life. The old life and all the past mistakes and disappointments will disappear, forgiveness and a new hope is available, where you will develop peace as you go deeper into the Christian faith.
It says in Corinthians:
Lets look at some testimonies where people have come from challenged backgrounds and how they have turned their lives around once they invited Jesus in, first we look at Joanna’s story.
Next we look at Johns story.
No matter what your circumstances Jesus can turn it around for you. By inviting him into your life you can develop peace through Jesus and walk in light.
If you have any questions about the Christian faith and how a relationship with God can help you in your life, then join us on a Sunday morning. We serve refreshment from 10.45am. We will be happy to receive you and answer any questions you might have.
We have good news for people who think there is no way back in their lives. Jesus is in the business of giving out 2nd chances, and not just 2nd chances but 3rd, 4th and 50 chances. So if you are lost, hurting or suffering with some form of addiction it can all be turned around through the grace that Jesus offers us all.
It is confirmed in the Bible that Jesus mercies are new every morning, in the book of Lamentations.
Isn’t that good news, that when we mess up, we can count on Jesus’ mercies being re-newed every morning. Not only this but in the book of Hebrews it says:
It means when we mess up and make mistakes as we will inevitably do, we can get up, dust ourselves down and try again.
Grace is defined as God’s un-deserved favour and he pours it over us. The 2nd chances are there for you if you have been devastated by the following and think there is no way back:
• Alcohol abuse • Drug Abuse • Violence • Been involved in crime • Been victims of crime
Whatever pain or hurt you have experienced in life, we can all have confidence in approaching God’s thrown of grace to receive mercy, and have that second chance of life no matter how bad the past has been.
This website is here to tell you about one simple message. To find peace is to learn about Jesus and what he has done for you.
Jesus came into this world to look after you
Over 2000 years ago Jesus sacrificed his own life doing God’s will in order for us to have a relationship with God. God brought Jesus into the world not to condemn the world but to save the world.
For anyone who believes in Jesus will be saved and have eternal life. Not only that, but those who believe in Jesus will have life in more fullness where you will experience peace and joy. Jesus will also provide for your every need, so you do not have to worry, you simply need to put your faith in Jesus who still lives today.
Jesus has taken the penalty for bad mistakes you have made
It is inevitable that in a world that is soaked in all kinds of temptations that people will make mistakes. The Bible calls it “Sin”.
For example, in your lifetime you may have been in violent confrontation with someone, stole something, or you have been dis-honest in someway, these are mistakes and are known as sin, and we are all sinners that have fallen short of Gods standard. The following Bible scripture sums it up.
How can you find peace?
When you learn about Jesus and start to acknowledge him and his ways you begin to develop peace. Here is a scripture that promises us that we will receive peace through Jesus.
But how?
There are several reasons why you may not be experiencing peace. From self-condemnation, bad habits, to worries about life and more things that can lead to stress and anxiety. It could be past mistakes, you might have been to prison or committed a crime, and you cannot get over it or forgive yourself.
Well, the good news is this, Jesus took your sins upon himself past, present and future over 2000 years ago on a wooden cross, he took the guilt and the shame of your sins and you have been declared forgiven from this selfless act, so that you can make amends and turn your lives around for the better. This scripture from the Bible sums it up.
This is how we develop peace, for those who believe in Jesus are forgiven for their mistakes and God will turn around those mistakes for Good as promised in the Bible.
People who have been victims of crime
It can be devastating for those who have been victims of crime. Hurt, bitterness and hate can overcome a person who has been a vicitim of crime, especially a serious crime. If you are someone who is suffering then we believe only one person can help you, and that is Jesus.
The thing to remember about Jesus is he was God born on the earth as a man to walk amongst us, to shine truth and light into the world. When Jesus was crucified he had done nothing wrong. Jesus died on the cross having never committed a single crime, and yet he was nailed to the cross and suffered a criminals death.
The very important point is this. Jesus understands exactly what you are going through and what you are experiencing. Jesus was also a victim of a crime, he did nothing wrong yet he suffered greatly on the cross. When you are suffering from the consequences of a crime through no fault of your own, turning to Jesus can be the best thing you can ever do, because he can be the only one who can truly understand what has happened to you, let him bring the peace that you need to walk forward in your life.
