Jobs at Rea Church

Join a passionate and vibrant team with a vision to seek His Kingdom in Balsall Heath, Birmingham and beyond.

  • Rea Church is a vibrant and diverse community, based in Balsall Heath, Birmingham. While our reach is Birmingham and beyond, we also have a specific missional focus upon the community of Balsall Heath on our doorstep. Balsall Heath is economically deprived, ethnically diverse, demographically young, and over 60% Muslim. Looking a little further afield, virtually every demographic imaginable live within a mile of our church, including a significant population of university students. Our building is on a major artery road out of the city. The missional and discipleship opportunities are extraordinary.

    We are at an exciting moment in our journey, with two communities (Anchor Church & St Mary and St Ambrose Church) having come together in 2024 to form Rea Church — a community of around 140 adults and children. Our launch has included a substantial Church of England funding bid for building improvements and staffing increase, with a view to growing a 400+ congregation over the next five years.
