‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.’ [Philippians 4.6]
Welcome to St James’s Church
Tier 4? Local Lockdown? St James’s is still worshipping, in church and online.

After two lockdowns, St James’s is still active in mission, and even under Tier 4 restrictions, we are open for worship, both online (interactive on Zoom and live-streamed on Facebook) and in the church building.
