We are a Vineyard Church based in the Boldmere area of Sutton Coldfield. We have people involved in the church from all over the North Birmingham area, including Lichfield and Tamworth but our main mission focus is currently in the Boldmere area. We have held successful training events within the community providing seminars on money management & handling stress. Other courses we have recently provided include the ‘Alpha’ course – an introduction to the basics of the Christian faith as well as an excellent discipleship course called ‘Freedom in Christ’. We have good relationships with other local churches and believe that what we do is only a small part of what God is doing in the area through the wider Christian community. Locally we are a member church of Churches Together in Central Sutton Coldfield and nationally we are affiliated to the Evangelical Alliance of churches.
