St James/St Johns is part of my family. It has been a place where I can be myself, share my joys and be supported in times of need. There is always someone to pray with you and encourage you. It really is home.

I grew up in the church and now attend with my family! We love the people and that they are of all ages. I’m so thankful to have this place and church family, they have been a constant in my life and I have the support around me that I need when I need it.
