Our Brief History
Beacon Evangelical Church began in 1987 as a union of three Handsworth churches - Lawnswood, Waverhill Road and Calvary.
We pooled our resources and relocated to our current building in Sandwell Road, at the top of the hill - hence 'Beacon' Church, a light for our community.
Several years ago we felt God was saying to us, 'Go!' You cannot stay within your four walls and keep this gift of life to yourselves - you have to share it! So we have made it our aim to find ways of presenting God's message of hope through love, service and through words to those who have never heard it before.
Vision Statement
We are striving to become a beacon of the good news of Jesus Christ, to be a vibrant, welcoming inner city church focused on sharing Jesus' message and living as His disciples.
Core Values
Worship: We aim to live a life of worship, loving God with our whole life, not just when we come to church services
Service: We aim to love one another with the love God has shown to us and to love our neighbours in the community
Obedience: We aim to obey and live out the God's Word, The Bible
Excellence: It is important for us to strive for excellence in whatever we do, doing it for God
