History
The Church of the Holy Trinity and St Luke the Evangelist was founded in 1983 and until December 1994 services were held at an Anglican church in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.
The great desire of the community members was to acquire its own church building and in 1992 the decision was taken to relocate our Church to the West Midlands Cypriot Community Centre in Erdington, Birmingham.
With the help of the Church Council and the priest at the time, Fr Nikolaos Skapoulis, together with the support and blessing of his Eminence Gregorios of Thyateira and Great Britain, their goal became reality. On 22 October 1995 with all due ceremony Archbishop Gregorios consecrated the new Church. The Divine Liturgy has been celebrated there ever since on Sundays and on all the main feast days. The current Father of the church is Fr Christos Stephanou.
