Welcome to the website for Stirchley's local Church of England church!

We want to be 'good news' in our local neighbourhood and to reflect the faithfulness, generosity and openness of the God in whom we believe and encounter in Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to all who are seeking meaning, community and belonging. 

The Church of the Ascension building is open for Sunday worship every week at 10.15am. Our worship service is always a eucharist (holy communion) but the style varies. On the 2nd Sunday of the month there is always a creative or reflective activity to take part in, suitable for all ages.

The monthly Family Service, a short informal gathering for all ages, is at 12noon on the last Sunday of each month. A shared Community Lunch follows at 12.30pm.

We have re-introduced the common cup for sharing wine, alongside sharing bread, at the eucharist. We recognise that not everyone will be comfortable to share the common cup, and there is absolutely no pressure on anyone to do so. The opportunity is there as and when each person feels it is appropriate for them.

The weekly 'notice sheet' is available to download on the 'News and notices' tab.

Please use the 'Contact Us' tab to send requests for prayer, or to be included in our praying together, which we do using Zoom during the week.

You are very welcome.
