Beacon Church Centre, Rubery

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).

Our Minister

Our minister, the Rev. James Hamilton was ordained as a minister in the United Reformed Church in July 2020 after four years training at Northern  College in Manchester. Before this he worked as a nurse in the NHS for thirty-two years. He is married with two step-daughters. He is also minister of Emmanuel Church in Redditch.

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.

Any variation will be noted on the Calendar page

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.
