About Shirley Parish

​

The Anglican Parish of Shirley stretches from the Birmingham border in the north to the Friar’s Gate/Costa roundabout in the south, and from Dingle Lane/Danford Lane/Prospect Lane in the east to Truemans Heath and Tidbury Green in the west. It is home to around 34,000 people. We have two churches - St James on Stratford Road, and St John at Tidbury Green, each with its own loyal congregation - but we act together to share God’s love with those who live and work in the parish (and beyond.)

​

Our intention is to “know Christ”, through worship and developing our own relationships with God; and to "make Christ known”, though our invitation and welcome, our words and our actions.

​

Our Sunday Worship is livestreamed, so those who can no longer attend in person can still participate. We have a wide range of activities for children and their families; and our "Places of Welcome" Tuesday  Cafe is providing a place for people to enjoy coffee and cake, to reconnect with old friends and to make new ones. 

​

We are engaging with the broader Shirley community through our activities with schools and other community events; through expanding our local community links; and through our social media presence. We pray and work closely with the other churches in Shirley. 

​​

We are an inclusive church which welcomes everyone, and we hope and pray that you would like to become part of our journey.
