Mission Statement

Love God

‘Love the Lord your God with all your mind, soul and strength.’

The Bible teaches us that ‘God is love’ and his love is shown to us in many ways. It is therefore the first duty of the Christian Church to return that love both individually and corporately. The main indicator of our love is obedience to our Creator, our ‘Father’ God.

Love People

‘… and love your neighbour as you love yourself.’

The Bible teaches that all people are made in the likeness of God and he gives love and forgiveness to everyone who calls on him in faith. Therefore, the local church is a place where love is received and given without partiality. In this, God is honoured, people will find joy, hope and peace, making good relationships amongst family, friends and community.

Make Disciples

‘Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.’

In church, we aim to follow this instruction given by Jesus noting that a true follower is not simply one by ‘label’ but from the heart, identified by that person’s words and deeds. We also acknowledge that wherever we are on life’s journey we can be listening, learning, and growing in maturity.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

We are a welcoming family church who are seeking God’s help in daily living and in answering life’s big questions. The focus of the week at church is our Sunday Service, this is when the church comes together to worship in the form of prayer and song. Our services are not particularly formal, there is no dress code and we do our best to make visitors welcome and explain what is going on. On Sunday we will also receive teaching from the Holy Bible which has brilliant and life-giving wisdom in it. Have a look at our Church Calendar to see when services are happening.

The church usually has a range of activities that take place during the week, from a toddler group to a book club all of which provide opportunities for building friendships and being involved in the life of the church. For more information, please check our Church Groups page.

Now retired, Brian enjoys looking after the grandchildren, cycling, and walking.		I'm a local lad, born and bred in Great Barr, now living in Sutton Coldfield.
