St Martins, Walsall

Welcome to St Martin's, Walsall.

St Martin's is a Christian community, based just to the east of Walsall town centre. Our tradition is open, inclusive evangelical. We embrace Jesus as the centre of our faith and the embodiment of love, compassion, and grace. He is our guiding light, inspiring us to live a life of purpose, humility, and service to others. Jesus, to us, represents the ultimate expression of God's love for humanity, breaking down barriers and inviting all into a community where no one is left behind.

We strive to follow Jesus' example by fostering inclusivity, championing social justice, upholding human rights, and promoting equality. Our journey is to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, supporting each other and building a community where love reigns supreme. Everyone is welcome - everyone.

We are currently updating our website, so please bear with us as it all comes together.

Blessings and thanks - and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Our Lent course starts on the 11th March at 7pm. This year we’ll be using the musical Hamilton to explore the themes of Lent, guided by the book 'The Room Where It Happens' by Rt. Revd. Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Bishop of Dover. They’ll be refreshments, fellowship and space to think and reflect together.

We look forward to seeing you!

Details about the course:

The Room Where It Happens is an exciting new Lent course written by Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkin inspired by the filmed version of the award-winning stage musical Hamilton. The course has been written in the hope that all ages can be involved in the room where it happens for discussions about what the Bible and the experience of Christian faith teach us about some of the big issues faced in the musical by Alexander Hamilton: his responses to injustice, adversity and temptation, his search for identity, and his realisation that he (and all of us) can make a difference in the world. The course has five weekly sessions suitable for both groups and individuals, exploring the following themes:

Identity and Belonging
Ambition and Temptation
Forgiveness and Redemption
Love and Sacrifice
Hope and Courage through Adversity

Everyone is welcome.

We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, widowed, straight, gay, questioning, well-heeled or down at heel. We especially welcome wailing babies and excited toddlers.

We welcome you whether you can sing like Pavarotti or just growl quietly to yourself. You’re welcome here if you’re ‘just browsing,’ just woken up or just got out of prison. We don’t care if you’re more Christian than the Archbishop of Canterbury, or haven’t been to church since Christmas ten years ago.

We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome keep-fit moms, mums, mams and mothers, football dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems, are down in the dumps or don’t like ‘organised religion.’ (We’re not that keen on it either!)

We offer a welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or are here because granny is visiting and wanted to come to church.

We welcome those who are inked, pierced, both or neither. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down their throat as kids or got lost on the ring road and wound up here by mistake.

We welcome pilgrims, tourists, seekers, doubters… and you - as you are.

Welcome to St Martin's, Walsall.

Everyone is welcome.
