Our children's and young people's ministry is growing.
See what we offer for them at St James' on a Sunday.


Sparks and Torches
Sparks for those in nursery, pre-school and below and Torches for those in Reception and KS1.
We meet on a Sunday morning, during term time, in the creche area of the St Barnabas Centre during the 10.30am service.
We start off worshipping together as a family in the Worship Hall. Then we head off to the creche area with our parents/carers for some fun and activities based on the bible theme for that week. There are also plenty of toys to play with too! Parents/Carers will be able to listen to the service.
Sometimes Torches will join the bigger kids over in the Emmaus Centre for the whole session or just the beginning before coming back to the creche area. We're very flexible with what works best for the children.
Blaze and Beacon
Blaze is for those in KS2 and Beacon for Year 7 and above.
We meet on a Sunday morning during the 10.30am service.
We start off worshipping together as a family in the Worship Hall. Then we head off to the Emmuas Centre for some fun, games and activities based on the bible theme for that week.
