Top Church Dudley (aka St Thomas and St Luke’s) is a thriving, inclusive Anglican Church. We are positioned at the top of the high street, at the highest geographical point for miles around and our heart is to serve the most vulnerable in our community and be a resource to other churches.
Our mission is for people in Dudley and beyond to experience ‘life in all its fullness’ as Jesus promised. Some churches have big bands for their worship, some have big stages for their preachers – at Top Church we hope for a bigger table, where all are welcomed in the name of Jesus.
