We are glad that you
have visited St James and hope that you will come again. You will find that
there are many people attending our church – old and young, families, single
parents and people living on their own. We also represent different backgrounds
and interests, as well as different levels of faith, from people who have been
Christians for a long time, to those who are not sure what they believe. Some
have been churchgoers all their lives, while others have only just started to
attend.
“Reaching and teaching people to be disciples of Jesus
Christ.”
This is the mission
statement of St James’, which expresses our central aim. You will find that
this lies at the heart of everything we do here.
St James aims to meet the needs of those who attend by:
Meeting each
Sunday
to
strengthen our trust in
God through clear and relevant Bible teaching,
and prayers for one another and the world at large.
Investigating
Christianity
through an informal
four-
week course called “Christianity Explained”.
Meeting through the week
in small groups, some for
men and women, others for women or men only, to study the Bible and discuss how
it might shape our lives.
Enjoying each other’s friendship
and support, over a barbecue, coffee or dinner.
