We are an active Methodist church in the Four Oaks part of Sutton Coldfield, serving the communities of Mere Green and Four Oaks in the northernmost part of Birmingham. The menu will help you find out more about where we are and what we do.
​
Please have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page. If you have a question about what our church is like that isn't covered though, or the answer isn't helpful, please tell the website editor. We'll do our best to answer, and we'll update the FAQs for the future.
​
Although our sturdy old church looks very traditional you will find our facilities are all new. As part of our calling to serve our community, when they aren't in use for services all our rooms are available for rent by getting in touch with our manager on that link or look out for the "book a room" buttons.

Lent and Easter
Shrove Tuesday is 4 March, with Lent beginning on Wednesday 5 March, Ash Wednesday. Deacon Marilyn is leading a five-week Bible Study at lunchtime which you might make part of your devotions preparing for Easter. Her course starts here on 4 March and will be from 12.00-2.00 pm and there will be soup and rolls to share. If Tuesdays aren't convenient for you, the course will also run on Wednesdays at the same time in Blackwood Methodist Church. You can sign up whenever you're in church.
It's not too early to mark your calendar with the dates for Lent and Easter.
​
Mothering Sunday is 30 March, and we will be worshipping back in church by then. There's also a baptism planned for that service which will be lovely.
​
Palm Sunday is 13 April.
​
Maundy Thursday is 17 April. There will be services at Kingstanding Church at 2.00 pm and South Parade at 4.00 pm.
​
Good Friday is 18 April, and we'll be gathering at here at FOMC at 10.30 to walk together in witness to St James' in Mere Green for an outdoor service with friends from Churches Together which begins at 11.00.
​
Easter Day is 20 April and Revd Nick will lead our worship.
Help us refurbish our beautiful organ
​
You might not know how significant our wonderful church organ is. It was built in 1914 by a well known Norfolk company Norman & Beard who became part of Hill Norman and Beard. They were a famous manufacturer and built organs for many churches and cathedrals around the world, and our organ is a distinguished part of their legacy. It's our duty to preserve it and our reward is to hear it played by the talented musicians who come to use it.
​
It was last refurbished in the 1970s and needs another overhaul to see it through for generations to come.

Some grants can assist with the cost of this, which is £75,000 altogether. But to access that help we need to raise the first £40,000 ourselves. That's a lot. No, it's an enormous amount. But we've made fabulous progress, and we're getting really close to the total now. Perhaps you can help to push us over the line.
You'll see this logo used as part of our fundraising. If you click the logo you can visit the page we have added to our website that tells you all about it.
