South Aston United Reformed has occupied this site since October 1973. Prior to that we were located less that a quarter of a mile away on what is now the Victoria Road interchange of the M38 (see the 'About Us' page). We are a relatively small but very active community of people trying hard to follow the Christian faith in the challenging environment of South Aston. There are few hours or days in any week when people from all walks of South Aston life and often well beyond, cannot be found either at worship in the sanctuary or at work or leisure in one of the two assembly halls or class rooms (see the 'About Us' page for details of some of the activities). The facilities are used by both multi ethnic and multi faith groups; truly serving the local community. Come and join us, you are more than welcome!

Bloomsbury Mission Project - In July 2007 BMP joined with South
Aston to be run as a joint pastorate. South Aston brings the strengths and
challenges of a traditonally structured church and BMP brings the strengths
and challenges of a Mission Project, the aim of which is to give support to the
needy of Nechells, a district of Birmingham neighbouring Aston.
If you are interested in any of these projects and would like to contribute to them please contact the church. It’s easy to assume that everyone is catered for by the Welfare State or International Charities these days but sadly there are always people who fall between the cracks and there are many people in need, particularly young people who may have left home in difficult circumstances.
