St Philip's, Dorridge & St James', Bentley Heath

St Philip's Church reopened in September 2021 following a project to demolish the old buildings and replace them with a modern building to meet the needs of the community.

While there is still work to be done to complete the first floor of the building, the ground floor is fully open for use. 

The Worship Space is a comfortable and calm environment to gather for services, and as a multi use space houses activities from choir practice to toddler groups and Pilates.

The Beacon Hall is home to sports and activities. U3A Table Tennis groups meet several times each week, while Guides and Brownies enjoy the large space and weekly Zumba classes bring plenty of energy. The hall is also a popular choice for children's parties.

The Gateway Studio was build with the Youth of the area in mind, and our Monday Youth Evenings are packed out each week. As another multi use room, smaller meetings and gatherings are regularly held in this space.

The first floor still requires work to complete the project, and fundraising is under way to secure the money required. 

If you are yet to see the building, call in on a weekday morning for free refreshments and a look around. Who knows. you may want to stay for Zumba, Pilates and more!
