Welcome to St James the Great, Birstall and Our Lady and St Nicholas, Wanlip.

We are the Anglican Churches in the area and serve the people of Birstall and Wanlip alongside our fellow Christians, the Methodists and the Roman Catholics, confessing together our faith in God through his son Jesus Christ.

Our vision is to be: An open Christian community where people feel loved, respected and free to be fully themselves!

We look forward to your joining us for a service or an activity or a group where you will be made very welcome.
