Welcome to St James Westminster
We're so happy you're here
Hi! We know that trying out a new church can be a little daunting, and we want to make that as easy as possible.
Who We Are
We are called to be the 'one body that is the church', and part of the connection that ties us together is our participation in ritual - prayer and worship, the seeking of the sacred.
Our Beliefs
Faith
We seek to follow Jesus Christ through worship, prayer, lifelong learning, and faithful service.
Community
Community
We are an inclusive Anglican parish where people of all ages and backgrounds are invited to belong, grow in faith, and serve together.
Justice
Inspired by the Gospel, we work to build a more just and compassionate world through outreach, advocacy, and service to our neighbours.
Compassion
We believe God's love is made visible through hospitality, generosity, pastoral care, and caring relationships within our parish and beyond.
Our Story
For more than 150 years, St. James Westminster has been a place of worship, community, and faithful service in London. Founded in 1873 to serve the growing Anglican community south of the Thames River, the parish began with a simple brick church that seated just 200 people. Within only a few years, the congregation had outgrown its first home, a testament to the vitality and vision of those early parishioners.
A Place of Welcome for All
At St. James Westminster, there is a place for everyone. We are a diverse community, bringing together people of different ages, backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and stages of faith. We do not all look alike, think alike, or come from the same place, and we believe that is part of what makes our community richer.
We believe that all people are made in God's image and are loved by God. We come together to worship, to learn from one another, to grow as human beings, and to work together to make our lives and our world better.
Whether you are certain in your faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between, you are welcome at St. James. There is a place for you here.
