ABOUT OUR CHURCH
Our church is in the centre of Shirley - a thriving, bustling community just outside Birmingham and within Solihull in the West Midlands. We’re proud to have a high street location in the heart of this diverse, multicultural, multiracial community where many faiths are represented. We reach far beyond our worshippers to shoppers, school children, business owners, families, newcomers to the area and people who have lived here all their lives.
Our philosophy is simple: everyone is welcome here. There is a place for everyone, and the door is always open. Communities are always changing, growing, shifting and adapting and we’re no different. We’d love you to be part of it.

SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP
Our regular 10.30 a.m. Sunday morning service is a reflective time of worship, with a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary worship songs using both organ and piano accompaniment. There is an audio-visual system on which hymn words are projected, but we also have hymn books including large print for those who prefer them. Preaching styles vary and we have a service of Holy Communion once a month. Tea, coffee and biscuits are shared afterwards. We'd love you to stay and chat with us.
