At St. James' we are a church family of all ages who seek to grow in our faith and to draw others to the love of Jesus. In our worship we use a blend of hymns and worship songs, seasonal and all age services and encourage lay involvement.
We usually worship together at 0930 every Sunday
with
Holy Communion every 1st and 3rd Sunday
Currently, St James' Church building and churchyard are closed to visitors (summer 2025). Unfortunately, there are some structural issues with both our spire and our lychgate that mean we cannot meet in our beautiful building. The cost for repairs will be substantial and so we may be closed for some time. Whilst the building is closed, we continue to meet for worship and community. We meet at Staveley CE Primary School, just next door! You are welcome to join us.
We are delighted to be taking part in a survey of St James' Churchyard with Cumbria Amphibian and Reptile Group. If you see squares of roofing felt in the churchyard please do not disturb them they are artificial reptile refuges and will help us assess the populations of amphibians and reptiles in our area. We will keep you up to date with our findings.
Our Churchwardens
Katherine Morris and Margaret Farhall serve as our churchwardens.
They are supported in their leadership by the Parochial Church Council (PCC)
