St James the Greater church building is temporarily closed.
Despite the pandemic, the Church is still an active worshipping community which has much to offer people of all ages.
More details here.
The Church of St James the Greater, in the Diocese of Leicester, in the East Midlands, can be found just to the south of the centre of the City of Leicester, on the main A6, opposite Victoria Park.
With a design influenced by the great cathedral of Torcello in the Venetian lagoon, it was built between 1899 and 1914, to serve the expanding city of Leicester.
There is a thriving congregation, and the worship is varied, maintaining the best of the Anglican tradition, liturgically and musically, attracting people from all walks of life and from all over the county of Leicestershire and beyond.
The Ministry Team are here to offer support, advice and practical help at all the important times in family life.
Whether you want your baby baptised, a wedding service in church, need support when a death occurs, or just someone to talk to about the christian faith, the clergy are here to assist.
A DIFFERENT SORT OF CHURCH
Just like everywhere else, St James the Greater is a little different from normal.
The regular weekly leaflet is still being produced and can be download from this site as usual.
In addition to this website, we also have a presence on Facebook (see below)
Please check back here regularly for updates and information concerning worship resources.
THE BUILDING IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Following a request from the Director of Public Health and the Mayor, we will be temporarily closing for both public worship and private prayer.
As it stands, we're unsure how long this will be for, but we will review the situation regularly, based on the advice we receive from both the local/national church and local/national government.
