Our mission statement...
"To know Jesus more fully, and to make Jesus more fully known"

Welcome to Christ Church!

We are an Anglican church serving a parish in Selly Park, south Birmingham.

Our site at 953 Pershore Road has been completely redeveloped over the last year or so. We moved into our new multi-purpose building in February 2008, and have already used it to host a wide range of events.

Nigel Hand moves on

Our vicar, Nigel Hand, is leaving us to take up a post based at Birmingham Cathedral, where he will be working to build links with the wider community (press release here).

We're very grateful for all that Nigel has done at Christ Church over the last 10 years, and our loss is the City's gain as he moves into this key rôle.

Our services are informal in style, and are intended to be accessible to anyone.

Morning services are held at 10.30 am each Sunday. Special activities are provided for children.

Evening services take place at 6.30 pm each Sunday, except for the monthly Café Church, which is at the later time of 8.00 pm.

Midweek activities

A network of home groups and other informal fellowships meets throughout the week.


Children and young people

The church provides activities for younger people and their families, both on Sundays and during the week.


Our building

Completed in February 2008, our multi-purpose building is intended for church and community use. The building pages explain what we have built and why. There are photos to show how the building took shape.


The church community

The strength of our community is reflected by the vast range of events we organise to entertain ourselves and others, and to raise money for the new building.

Our place in the world

At Christ Church our links with the local community have been built up over nearly 80 years. We are also very conscious that we are partners in the gospel with the worldwide Christian church.


Past and present

Regular services began in the Pershore Road building in 1977, originally as part of the parish of St. Stephen and St. Wulstan. In June 2004 we became a parish in our own right, changing our name from the Church Centre to Christ Church.
