St James' is now open for public worship every Sunday.

Please see the Haldon Mission Community website for the latest information, resources to use,
and links to our online services.

 

For nine centuries, St James' Parish Church has sat at the heart of West Teignmouth.

For nine centuries the people of West Teignmouth have gathered in the church to celebrate their weddings and the births of their children. They have gathered to mourn their loved ones and to remember those who were lost at sea or whose final resting place is in a foreign field. For nine centuries the people of West Teignmouth have gathered in St James’ to share and join together in  their worship.

Today, in the 21st century, and even in this time of global pandemic, St James' still stands as a constant reminder of our shared Christian heritage. We share in our worship; we share in the pain of bereavement and; we look forward to sharing the celebrations of love in marriage and of new birth.

Today, St James’ is still a place of stillness and calm in the busyness and uncertainty of life.

Today, St James’ remains a Christian presence at the heart of West Teignmouth, and we welcome you...

Pray for Ukraine

Christians around the world fasted and prayed for Ukraine on Ash Wednesday. The Bishop of Exeter, the Rt Rev'd Robert Atwell, said "Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine as they struggle for their survival and self-determination.  Let’s pray that peace may prevail and that the leaders of the nations may be persuaded to come together to find peaceful ways of reconciling difference, where there is justice and respect for all.” Simon Friend, General Synod representative for the Diocese of Exeter, said "We all feel a sense of longing to know what we can do for all those who seek peace in Ukraine and Russia and round the world.  This is an opportunity to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine at this time – to keep watch and to pray.  Please do join us.”

The Next 200 Years

11 September 2021 marked 200 years since St James’ Church took on its unique, octagonal-shaped building. The church was rededicated on that day in 1821 and we held a Fun Day all to celebrate the occasion. 

We now look forward to the next 200 years of ministry in St James' church by joining together in 200 days of prayer.

"For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope."
- Jeremiah 29:11

"Over and over again it will happen that if a man or woman, having thought out a problem to the best of their ability, will then lay the whole matter in the hands of God, and genuinely desire that God's Will shall be done in their lives and not their own, it will become perfectly clear what that will is. Over and over again this happens."
- Willian Temple

 

Lord God as we celebrate 200 years of a church made new in this place show us clearly your way for the next 200 years. Teach us how to pray, that we may grow in faith and numbers and serve your people with joy and delight. Through Christ our Lord, Amen
