Find a church

Would you like to visit a British church to see what it is like? We can bring you along, explain the traditions and then take you home for a meal afterwards. Just contact us.

If you already go to church in your home country, we can help you find a church home here in the UK. There are many welcoming churches in Birmingham. Contact us with details of where you live and your church tradition – or you could consider one of these churches which partner with us and are set up to befriend international students during their time in the UK. We’d be happy to introduce you:
