St. Augustine's Church

Welcome to St. Augustine's Church

We are a diverse and friendly congregation seeking to serve Christ in our community with biblical teaching and traditional Anglican faith, practice and worship. Our parish falls within the Diocese of Birmingham and our Patron is the Bishop of Birmingham.

Our amateur choir of exceptional ability sings twice every Sunday, maintaining a choral repertoire that extends from Palestrina to Oliver Messiaen.

Our church, which is open daily for prayer, is a Victorian landmark with a sumptuous interior, and is situated in the heart of Birmingham's main hotel district.

Help us to reach our target.
