Church Services
More than a church, St James’ is at the heart of the city.
Our vision is in creating an open, inclusive and engaging sanctuary for all; regardless of social standing, sexuality, race, gender identity or religion. We respect both our heritage and that of the traditional custodians of this land, while shaping our future through excellence in music, education and worship.
Our impact is our legacy. We aspire to establish trust with our community by presenting our message of inclusion, grace and faith.
Weddings, Baptisms and Funerals
The walls of St James’ Church have witnessed countless baptisms, marriages and funerals since 1824 until the present day, and the current congregation loves to share each other’s joys and sorrows. As Christians, we see profound resonance to these markers of life as we celebrate new birth, covenant relationship, or provide comfort and support as we mourn with each other before our God.
Sermons
St James’ is a place of soul-stirring worship, challenging preaching, and fine music. Some of our preachers provide the text of their sermons which we will publish here.
You can listen back to recent sermons via our YouTube channel.
