Pastoral Care

While caring for each other is part of everyone’s role in a Christian community, there may be events or circumstances that you may want to discuss with one of our ministers or staff team personally. The following are some of the things we are able to help with:

• Weddings /Marriage

• Funerals

• Baptism/ Thanksgiving

• Confirmation / Reaffirmation of Faith / Reception

Confirmation is for those baptised as infants who would now like to ‘confirm’ their Christian faith. Reaffirmation is for those wishing to make a public testimony of their faith. Reception is for those from other Christian denominations who formally wish to become Anglicans. These are done in the presence of a Bishop in a Sunday Service.

Life Groups – these small groups give people an opportunity to care pastorally for each other under the guidance and leadership of the group leader. We encourage all the members of St James to join such a group if they can. There are more details about our Life Groups on this website.
