welcome to st ALPHEGE PARISH church, SOLIHULL
St Alphege, Solihull, is a growing, vibrant church located in the very heart of the town of Solihull, 8 miles from the centre of Birmingham.
The church stands proudly at the end of High Street as it has done now for over eight hundred years. It is one of the important landmarks of our town and an enduring witness to the Christian faith.
We are a church that uses the rich traditions of our faith to enhance our modern worship.
We offer services to suit all ages (see more details in the panel to the right). Most are centred on the celebration of the Eucharist (Holy Communion). Visitors are welcome at all the services and there is an opportunity to talk informally over refreshments in the church hall after the Sunday 9.15 service.
The building is a fine medieval Grade I listed church and many people come into this beautiful building during the daytime to pray or sit quietly or perhaps light a candle in the calm atmosphere.
