WELCOME TO THE PARISH OF SOLIHULL
A very warm welcome and thank you for taking time to visit our website. We are a Church of England parish in the Diocese of Birmingham, and one of the wonderful things about our parish is its richness and diversity. Whilst we are united in our Gospel vision to Grow Disciples, Build Community, and Transform Lives, this finds different expression across our three churches: St Alphege, St Helen’s and St Michael’s, and through a wide variety of different ministries. Whether you are looking to join the church family on a regular basis, or are enquiring about becoming part of the church for a special event, such as a wedding or a baptism, these pages should greatly help you with all that you need to know. Please do explore this website to get a glimpse of what’s on offer, or better still, come to one of our services or events. We would love to meet you.
Please feel free to contact us for any support we may offer.
The first point of contact for our clergy team, bookings and all enquiries (including funerals, weddings and baptisms) is the Parish Office – follow this link: Solihull Parish Office or phone 0121 705 5350.
