Being a very strong character, she felt frustrated at not being as good as everyone else at English and didn’t attend for a while. Six months later, she returned, much more resolute and learned to speak English very quickly – she now knows more than enough to get by and has started to translate for others in her church. She says that she loves to come to the Jesus Centre, because we treat her with respect. Little does she know how much ‘life’ she brings to us!

Tara came to us from a project that supports women who have been ‘...

An evening with Adrian and Bridget Plass and Rob Halligan

Published: 20th Apr 2016

THE Sheffield Jesus Centre is now in its fifth year. Over the past five years, we have had a variety of special events, including a civic opening with the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, and annual Gala Days, working with our neighbours.

A Snapshot of Life at the Sheffield Jesus Centre

Julia Faire normally works at Coventry Jesus Centre but took a day off to take a look at what goes on at Sheffield Jesus Centre
Published: 16th Jul 2015
Sheffield Jesus Centre is a light, airy building, a sharp contrast to the roaring traffic outside on Hanover Way.
