Welcome to St Peter’s website.  We are a church committed to showing the love of God in service to the local community, in worship and prayer, and in care for one another.   

As members of the worldwide Anglican church, rooted here in Birmingham, we are also dedicated to sharing in friendship and support fellow Christians in Churches Together in Hall Green.   

Our hope is that we become more and more a church at the heart of our local community, meeting needs in God’s name, and proclaiming his kingdom of love, forgiveness, healing, justice and peace. We expect to see signs of that kingdom in many different people and places.  

We are not perfect, just travellers on the road hoping to do our best! 

We hope you find the information you are looking for.  Please don’t hesitate to get in touch. 

Martin Stephenson, Vicar

Questionnaire – The questionnaire (available in church) is part of the Bishop’s Transforming Church programme which we are taking part in. Please return completed questionnaires to the box at the back of church either today or next week.  The PCC would like help before we meet with our consultant, the Revd Mary Gilbert on February 9.  The PCC is aware that some of these questions have been addressed in previous Away Days – but we may not have done much about them!  Our planned Away Day on March 20 will be able to address your comments in the three workshops: Unwrapping St Peter’s; Addressing unjust structures locally, and Discipleship and the integrity of creation.
