Welcome to the Beacon Church Centre webpage
The Beacon Church Centre is a United Reformed Church which seeks to serve God and the people of Rubery. We are a member of Churches Together in B45 (The churches within the B45 postal area).
January 2021
Due to the Covid crisis we are not currently meeting for live worship and do not plan to do so before the end of the present lockdown (lockdown 3). However, we are keeping a close eye on changing circumstances and will update this webpage when we are meeting for worship again.
Meanwhile, a recorded service is being posted on the church’s YouTube channel weekly and a paper copy emailed or posted on request. Daily devotions from the United Reformed Church can be found here.
Please contact me if you would like to talk, for us to pray for you or if you would like to be added to our mailing list. Contact details are on the panel to the right. If you want to know more about the Christian faith you may want to click here
Services are also streamed from our sister fellowship, Emmanuel Church, in Redditch available here.
God bless

Do you want to be part of a vibrant growing church community, a place where God’s love is real and experienced by all? Then come along and meet us, you are certain of a warm welcome.
The Beacon Church Centre is the only free church in Rubery and for over 160 years we have maintained a witness to the love of God for Rubery. Although we are a United Reformed Church, the majority of whose members have their roots in the Congregational Church, our congregation is a microcosm of ecumenical unity. We have regular worshippers whose background is Baptist, Church of England, Church of Scotland, Congregational, Methodist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian and Wesleyan Reform Union.

Messy Church is not about sitting on pews listening to the Bible, sermon and prayers or singing unfamiliar hymns.
Messy Church is a lively and dynamic mix of fun, crafts, food, games, learning for children and parents together. It is aimed at families with children up to the age of 11.
