Sunderland Minster, Anglican church in Sunderland, England.

The Grade II* listed building stands at the center of Sunderland, featuring traditional architectural elements and a prominent bell tower with stone walls.

Construction of the original stone church at this location dates back to 940 AD, when the parish of Bishopwearmouth was established south of River Wear.

The Minster Church offers multilingual services in English and Farsi, accommodating students, locals, asylum seekers, and refugees from different backgrounds.

The church opens Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 12:00, with Sunday services starting at 9:45 for Holy Communion and 11:30 for informal gatherings.

The building received its Minster status in 1998, making it the second Minster church in England since the Reformation after Dewsbury Minster.
