About us

We are an inclusive and affirming congregation, accepting of all. We are a congregation of local folk, who enjoy worshipping together in our beautiful church, situated ‘up the lane’, in Broomhill Road. There is ample parking space by the church and in neighbouring roads.

Our style of worship is relaxed but formal, with a robed choir and organ leading the singing in most of our services. Once a month we have a service focussed more on families where guitars and other instruments are used.

At a typical Sunday morning service there are people of all ages from babies through to the elderly.  We welcome children to our services and there are bags of books and toys in church to help keep young ones entertained if they’re not old enough or ready to listen to the service. On the third Sunday of the month we have Young Church activities in the church hall if they wish to do this.

Members of the congregation regularly take part in the service, including reading scripture and leading the prayers of the people. We value time together over tea and coffee after our Sunday morning service.

If you have any questions, please speak to a member of the ministry team or any member of the congregation about our services. We welcome enquiries about baptism, confirmation and affirmation of faith, weddings, and officiating at funerals. Our priest is licensed to solemnise same-sex marriages, which can take place in St James the Less.
