St James’ is rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, although many of our members come from other traditions.
We aim to make our worship vibrant and relevant. We are first and foremost a parish Church serving the local community, although we do have many church members who are not resident in the parish.
Lay people are increasingly involved in devising and leading worship.
Music and prayer: The music at St James’ is diverse, reflecting the variety of musical taste within the congregation. The best traditional hymns are joined by modern worship songs. The Church has a regular Sunday choir and instrumental music features during the service on a regular basis.
The Singers. For the first time in many years, the singers have resumed weekly rehearsals. With harmony singing of at least one new piece each week, it is a privilege to contribute to the worship at St James' in a friendly, collaborative group. If you enjoy singing in harmony and would like to join singers at St James', please get in touch through the parish office: new members are always welcome.
