What's on

Sundays @ 11am

Open House

Most students choose to go to the 11am service which features in-depth Bible teaching applied to daily life. After this we usually head out to lunch together, or go for a student lunch at a local home. The first few Sundays of term these lunches will place at the vicar's house, so it'll be a good chance to ask him any questions you have about St James, as well as get to know other students.

A great place for international students and those who love finding out about different cultures to have a fun and relaxed evening, meet new people, and enjoy free food! Each evening will have a different theme/focus e.g. Chocolate fondue, International food tasting, 'Round the World' Quiz, Film or games nights, and there will also be lots of time to chat to people and make new friends. The evening is open to everyone, whatever your cultural or religious background, and we hope you feel very welcome here! It takes place in a local home every Thursday evening during term time, 7-9pm. Please contact Sarah at sarah@jc-church.org for more details.

Student life group

Student life groups are one of the best ways of getting involved at St James. We meet on a Wednesday evening at 7pm in the Crypt for food followed by a time of digging deeper into God's word and prayer, as we seek to encourage and build each other up to better know and love God, and to live for him in every area of our lives. There are also regular social events (film nights, trips to places of interest in the area, student lunches etc) which provide a good chance to get to know each other better, and to which anyone is welcome to come.

On some Wednesdays we join the rest of the Church family in 'Powerpoint' prayer and praise evenings, and The Conversation events, and there are often iGod courses running parallel for those who are wanting to explore what the Christian faith is about.
