St James

UPDATE JULY/AUGUST 2025: We cannot currently enter St James' due to structural issues with the spire and the lychgate. We are currently having joint services on a Sunday morning at 11am at St Mary's Church in Windermere. Our weekly 9.30am Staveley based services will return on Sunday 7th September 2025, meeting at Staveley CE Primary School (next door to St James' Church).


At St. James' we are a church family of all ages who seek to grow in our faith and to draw others to the love of Jesus. In our worship we use a blend of hymns and worship songs, seasonal and all age services and encourage lay involvement.

We worship together at 0930 every Sunday. Please see our website and Facebook page for up to date information.
