A new church for tamworth
STARTING in Early 2026
Who we are
Grace Church Tamworth is a Bible-believing evangelical church launching in early 2026.
We believe that the saving message of Jesus Christ is the best news anyone could ever hear. Our desire is to spread this good news to the people of Tamworth and welcome people into the loving community of a local church.
We are currently forming a team to begin this new church, made up of local believers and people moving into the area.
If you would like to find out more - whether you’re a Christian or completely new to Christianity - please get in touch through our Contact Us page. We would love to hear from you!
Grace Church Tamworth is supported by the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches and The Midlands Gospel Partnership.
We also partner together with several other churches around the country who are praying for this new church.

AUTUMN 2025 Planning for launch
Early-2026 BEGIN MEETING on SUNDAYS




Grace Church will be led by Joe Standerwick. Joe previously served as Student Pastor at Moorlands Church in Lancaster and trained for ministry at Oak Hill Bible College.
Joe is married to Natalie and they have four young children. They both grew up in the West Midlands, not far from Tamworth, and are excited to put down roots here. We love walking and exploring with our children and so you’ll probably find us out and about in the nearby countryside on our days off!
Alongside Joe and Natalie are a team of committed Christians who are excited to make Jesus known in Tamworth.
