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.

News and Updates from St. Augustine's Church
- Music in February - The February Music list is now available on the
Music page.
From the Director of Music: "As you can see, there is no Choral Evensong in February. This will be the case for the whole of Lent, due to illness/operations/recuperation of a number of key singers in the Choir." - Accession Day Sunday Service - Our Accession Sunday service, held on 5th February, was a great success.
In the presence of The Right Worshipful, The Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Cllr Anita Ward, the service included a Trio of Trumpeters to accompany the hymn "All People That On Earth Do Dwell" and the National Anthem. Afterwards Mr Spiro Comis and Mrs Joan Bird (the widow of Gerry Bird) with the Lord Mayor unveiled the Churchwardens Board in the Narthex, which lists all Churchwardens since 1868. Pictures of the board can be found in the Our Church section of the site.
Of particular interest to the younger members of our congregation was the 'Diamond Jubilee Treasure Hunt'. Click here to read the opening Treasure Hunt poem, which was read by the Lord Mayor at the start of the hunt.
