History
St Wulstan’s Church, Bournbrook, was established as a mission church to St Mary's Church, Selly Oak, in 1893. Countess Beauchamp laid a foundation stone for a new church building in Exeter Road on St Wilstan's Day, 19 January 1906, the inscription declaring that it was being built "To the Glory of God and for the benefit of the People of Bournbrook". The church was built of red and blue brick by the architects J. E. K. Cutts (1847-1938) and John Priston Cutts (1854-1935), was designed to accommodate 713 worshipers, cost approximately £5,600 to construct was consecrated by the Bishop of Birmingham on 6 October 1906.
In 1983 the parish of St Wulstan’s, Bournbrook, merged with St Stephen's Church, Selly Park, and the Exeter Road building was swapped with Selly Oak Elim Church's building in Alton Road, Bournbrook. The local Elim congregation had been founded in 1936, and had initially met in people's homes before holding meetings at the Selly Oak Institute; hence why it is called the 'Selly Oak' Elim Church even though it is located in Bournbrook.
