Trustees

Our trustees have the legal responsibility to ensure good governance and wise use of the church's resources. Birmingham Vineyard is a charitable limited company so trustees roles are defined by the Charity commission for England and Wales and Companies house. They have a range of professional backgrounds and a wealth of experience to bring to the role. They are all members of this church drawn from various sites and meet every month to provide the necessary support and oversight to the work of Birmingham Vineyard Church. Don’t hesitate to reach out to the trustees in person (on a Sunday) or via email at trustees@birminghamvineyard.com

If you have a concern or complaint you can communicate in confidence with the chair of trustees directly and it will be handled in accordance with our complaints policy. The email address above goes straight to the Chair of Trustees and is not accessed by any of the staff.
