You and your family and friends are most welcome to join us for any of the services and events listed on these pages. We look forward to getting to know you.
We are a liberal catholic congregation within the Church of England, here to serve all the people of Amblecote - those who are already Christians, those of other faiths, and those of none. Our church building was originally erected for the local glassmaking community. Nowadays a number of our members come from other church backgrounds and/or other parts of the town, but we are drawn together by our love of the Lord Jesus and a desire to do things well, to the glory of God. Our worship style is recognisably "high church," enhanced by colour, movement, candlelight, music and often incense, with an emphasis on the Sacraments. As the hymnwriter says:
"O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
with gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
kneel and adore him - the Lord is his name."
Our parish of Amblecote is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Worcester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO, together with other relevant phone numbers - click the 'Read more' button below for more information.
If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact our PSO (Elizabeth Walker – 01384 831469) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (Hilary Higton – 07495 060869).
If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and the local authority’s children or adult social care services.
