St James's is the beautiful parish church serving Winscombe. Here we try hard to cater for all traditions and tastes with a range of services to meet as many needs as possible. We pray these will equip the saints to go out and love God and their neighbour in the service of Christ.
In these difficult times we hope St James's will be a beacon of light on Winscombe Hill which shines the hope and light of Jesus Christ to all the community we serve.
Visitors are warmly welcomed. New members are always welcomed into our fellowship.
