The session on 1st April is at the later time of 1-3pm.

Smethwick Old Church

Smethwick Old Church is both an historic building and a family of Christians. Built in 1732 using money left by Dorothy Parkes, our grade-two listed parish church is the oldest building in Smethwick - closely followed by The Old Chapel pub next door! We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds to share in worship, growing faith and work with our local community. 

We'd love to welcome to to any of our regular and special services, and you can find details of these on this page. For enquiries about baptisms, weddings or funerals please contact our Vicar, Revd Sara Moore via [email protected] or 07473 385789.
