Basis of Faith

open-bible

We believe in...

The one true God who lives eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The sovereign power, love, and grace of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.

The authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures as inspired by God and which form his written word-fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.

God’s love for all mankind, who are made in God’s likeness, to worship their Creator, love each other and care for the world in which they live.

The fall of mankind corrupted by sinful disobedience to God, and so incurring divine anger and judgement. Therefore, every person is under the just condemnation of God, and needs salvation.

The incarnation of God’s eternal Son the Lord Jesus Christ, truly divine, also truly human, born of the virgin Mary yet without sin.

The sacrifice of Christ on the cross; dying in our place, and by his loving grace paying the price of our sin and disobedience, and so reconciling us to God.

The defeat of death and the Devil, through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, and his bodily resurrection from the dead.

The ascension of Christ to the Father in heaven, to reign and to mediate as the only Saviour of the world.

The promised return of Christ to judge the living and the dead. And to establish his church in a new heavenly realm and to consign those who have rejected him to Hell.

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.

I have been Minister here at Beeches since 2002. I was born and raised a ‘Brummie’ and in fact, attended the local Perry Beeches Schools as a child. I am married to Theresa and have two smashing daughters who have both now flown the nest. I like my sport, particularly 6-a-side football, badminton and enjoy a good movie or book.

They have both been members at Beeches Evangelical Church since 1983 when they moved to Great Barr from South Wales for Brian to take up a partnership as a General Practitioner in West Bromwich. 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.
