FAQ

  • Gas Street Church is located on 41 Gas Street, just off of Broad Street. It is about a 15 minute walk from New Street train station, or 12 minute bus ride. There is a tram from the station will take you directly to Brindley place-just round the corner from Gas Street.

    If you are thinking of coming by car, be aware that the city of Birmingham has a Clean Air Zone. Vehicles which do not meet certain emission standards will be charged to drive within the A4540 Middleway. There is also no parking on-site, but there are car parks in the city centre.

    There are car parks on Brindley Place and Tennant Street, or at the Leonardo Royal Hotel.

  • Gas Street is located a short walk away from Brindleyplace, which offers lots of great restaurants to eat at. Why not gather a bunch of friends and book a table somewhere? If that’s not your cup of tea, there is also a Sainsburys on Broad Street nearby.

  • Gas Street Church has wheelchair ramp access, and accessible toilet. There is also a hearing loop available.

  • We recommend you bring a notebook, bible, and a water bottle.

  • Youth aged 15-18 who are keen to learn to engage well with the Bible and communicate effectively! They will need to attend with a youth leader or designated adult, but this adult/youth leader does not need to stay with them at the youth stream.
