About Us

St James is Known as Anglican Evangelical Church.

‘Anglican’ means that we are part of the Church of England and Anglican Communion – a global network of churches, whose ordained leaders are expected to give their agreement to a summary of Christian Belief known as The 39 Articles.

‘Evangelical’ means that we look to the Bible as our ultimate source of authority for what’s right and wrong.

For a formal summary of what ‘Evangelical’ means, you could have a look at the Evangelical Alliance Basis of Faith or the UCCF Doctrinal Basis.

‘Church’ means that we are a group of people who gather together around God’s Word, the Bible; trusting in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; and loving Him as our Master, Saviour and Friend.
