Christ Church is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in the Summerfield district of Birmingham.
The foundation stone was laid in November 1883 by the widow of Revd George Lea, vicar of St George's Church, Edgbaston. The church was built between 1883 and 1885 in a Perpendicular Style to designs by the architect J.A. Chatwin. It was consecrated on 30 April 1885.
A parish was created out of the parish of St John's Church, Ladywood. In 1906 part of the parish was transferred to St Augustine's Church, Edgbaston.
The organ was installed by Nicholson and Co in 1889. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
As of 2016[update], Christ Church serves a diverse, urban population of about 10,500 people. The worshipping community is a diverse group of 70 adults and 30 or so young people under the age of 18. As of 2016, the congregation worships in the adjacent hall while plans are made for the refurbishment and reordering of the church building.
