Our Vision

At St James we believe that a clear vision is vital for our health and growth as a church, and we have seen God guide and bless our vision over recent years.

As a church our mission is:

“to make committed followers of Jesus”

Flowing from this mission is our vision, our values and our strategy. You can read about these in our vision booklet.

Vision Focus for 2026

Each year we renew our vision focus to help us move forward in our mission to make committed followers of Jesus.

On 11th January at our Sunday services Josh shared with the church details of our Beautiful Witness vision focus for 2026. We believe that God wants us to be a Church that is a Beautiful Witness to the world around us. You can listen to Josh's vision talk here, as well as download our Beautiful Witness vision brochure with information on the vision for 2026.

Our vision verse for this year is:

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

(Isaiah 52:7)

To find out more about how you can be part of this vision focus for 2026 please read the Beautiful Witness vision brochure.

Commitment Sunday (8th February)

On Commitment Sunday we commit ourselves to God in the vision focus he has given us for 2026. We will be committing to him our time, talents and treasure. If you would like to be part of making this vision a reality please download a commitment card here and bring it with you on or before commitment Sunday. If you have joined our church family after this date and want to be part of what God is doing at James please feel free to bring a commitment card to one of Sunday services.
