the parish

The God of the Christian faith is continually reaching out to his world and seeking to bring us into a relationship with him and to give us a place in his family – this is God's mission. The church is called to play a part in God’s mission in the world.

In the Parish of Solihull we believe that we are called to engage with the world. We aim to share the good news of Jesus with everyone and to invite and welcome all people into the life of the church. We are doing this in many ways across the parish, particularly in our work with children and young people, schools, families and adult learning. We also make connections with people of all ages and backgrounds through our many social events, groups and life events such as baptisms, weddings and funerals. In all these areas our aim is to show God's love to those we meet, both in word and action.

Our Going for Growth initiative helps us to focus our work and activities in the Parish. This helps us to welcome all people into the life of the church and to help them grow in a relationship with God.

The parish-wide initiative involves all our congregations in developing themselves towards the goal of being true apostles of Jesus. They are keen to welcome new people, and to help them to join in with parish activities. Some are also active in encouraging people to move ahead in their spiritual journey by facilitating short courses, or acting as lay ministers.

In the Parish of Solihull, we aim to accompany others on their journey to faith and to walk alongside them. Our aim is to share with others the good news of Jesus and the welcome, forgiveness and acceptance which God offers to all. Our task is to share with others what we have found, and to invite others to come and discover it too.
