An introduction to our Church
Members of City Road Methodist Church, Birmingham, strive to bring the good
news that Jesus died to save all that accept Him as Lord and Saviour.
In the 1970s the Church was near to closing
when the remaining membership placed a sign outside the church telling the surrounding neighbourhood that "Jesus Cares About Rotton Park".
Since then CRMC has welcomed new members, visitors, migrants and
asylum seekers from every corner of the world.
Our current congregation includes people from the Caribbean, West Africa,
Zimbabwe, Figi, the Indian Sub Continent, and Malaysia. Some members are able to speak French.
We constantly pray
that the Lord will bring us enthusiastic Christians ready to live and work in this inner city area of Birmingham. We are evangelical
in outlook with a strong charismatic influence.
Even if you are staying in Birmingham for just a few months, as a
student, au pair, asylum seeker, or on a work placement, you will be very welcome.
Each Sunday morning members of
CRMC meet together for prayer, praise and worship at 11.00
am.
Our Junior Church is following the "Godly Play" programme and children are welcome
The
Church uses "Hymns and Psalms", "Songs of Fellowship", and the Methodist Worship Book. Copies of the NIV Bible are available
for all members of the congregation.
Other Church activities include weekly prayer meetings and Bible studies, with
special activities during Lent and Advent. We are happy to send you a weekly text message telling you of Church activities.
Just text crmc to 07786200690, but only if there is a real chance you will join us one Sunday soon!
The current leadership team are keen to build on the work of the past but know that the Church must change to meet
the needs of those around us.
The
Church was opened in 1903 and is located in Rotton Park on the A4040 Outer Birmingham Ring Road. The Church is part of the
Birmingham West and Oldbury Circuit of the Methodist Connexion in Great Britain.
