BBC One - Songs of Praise, Faith in Birmingham

Katherine Jenkins joins a young and growing congregation at Gas Street Church, Birmingham.

Katherine Jenkins visits Gas Street Church in Birmingham, which has a young and growing congregation. Laura Wright meets two Christian sisters born as conjoined twins.

In Birmingham, Katherine Jenkins joins members of the lively and growing young congregation at Gas Street Church. Its lead pastors, Tim and Rachel Hughes, describe their journey of faith and trust in God, leaving London with their family to start the new church in 2015. 

Laura Wright meets Christian sisters Eman and Sanchia, who were born as conjoined twins. They survived an operation to separate them and are now thriving 20-year-olds. 

In Birmingham’s famous Jewellery Quarter, Norma Jean Murrain explains how her deep faith led her to start a jewellery-making training school for young people.  And members of Gas Street Church’s congregation tell Katherine how they have seen God at work in their own journeys of faith. 

Hymns and songs from Gas Street and the wider Birmingham area reflect the Christian call to deeper faith and trust in God, including: Love Won’t Stop, When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, The Lord’s My Shepherd, By the Grace of God, Take My Life and Let It Be, Spirit Break Out and Ten Thousand Reasons.
