St James C Of E Church

read moreBolton, St James PCC have choosen to suspend Sunday public worship for the time-being due to the current national lockdown. We realise that public worship is exempt from the directive to 'stay at home' but feel given the current high infection and transmission rates of the virus it is safer to close. We will continue to have a weekly act of worship on our website (plus other regular online worship activities), and seek to support the congregation and parish in whatever way we can.'

Until well into the twentieth century it was little more than a collection of scattered farms, hamlets and small terraces. Between the two World Wars substantial numbers of houses were built and the shape and style of today's Bolton was set. The main thoroughfare is Bolton Road and the most prominent building on that road and in the whole of Bolton is St James's Church. As our strap line says, we love God, but we also love our community and aim to be a prominent and positve part of it.

We meet in the lounge and there's often a quiz and/or an optional craft activity, or if you just want to pop in for a quick cuppa, that's fine too. We share a story from the bible and sing praises together, before moving through for play time and, or course, toast! We have a number of Home Groups at St James'.
