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.

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.

SHAPED BY GOD TOGETHER

Shaped By God Together is a diocesan led initiative that began last September with a call to pray from Bishops Martyn and Guli. It is a process of prayerfully working out, how everyone across the diocese can best use our ministry, buildings and finances to live out our Everyday Faith in a rapidly changing world.

As part of these discussions, we are being asked to come together as a church to have a conversation about three possible models of ministry for the future in our diocese, and to feedback our reflections into the larger diocesan conversation.

We will be holding our meeting after our morning service next Sunday morning, 13th June. If you're unable to be in church next Sunday, there will also be online meeting later that same week, More details in next week's bulletin.

Further information, including details of the proposed models of ministry, can be found by visiting the Diocese's website and also in the Shaped By God Together leaflet, available here.
