About Us

Overview

Shirley Baptist Church has existed as a congregation
since 1797 and the first meeting place was in a
former pub on the corner of Stratford Road and
Olton Road. In 1845 the congregation moved to its
own building on what was then Sandy Lane, close to
the Powergen site. We currently worship in the
distinctive building on the Stratford Road at the Birmingham end of Shirley, which was erected in
1910, and has just been completely refurbished
inside. It is a wonderful blend of an older building
with a modern interior, and we encourage you to
come and have a look.

The church is affiliated to the Baptist Union of Great
Britain and is a member of the Evangelical Alliance.
We work in partnership with other local churches in
a scheme called Shirley Churches Together.
