Our Benefice

St James is part of a wider group of churches in the area that includes St James, Newbold Verdon; St Giles, Barlestone; All Saints, Kirkby Mallory & St Mary Magdalene, Peckleton.

We share clergy, our ministry team and resources, and are actively developing our work and mission together whilst celebrating the uniqueness of each community. Whenever there is a 5th Sunday in a month we hold a Benefice Service, usually a communion, that rotates around the four churches. Please keep an eye out in our news sheet or here for more details.

As well as sharing services & events, each parish has an its own church services, events & congregations. Click on the images below to find out more about church services, events and the communities at each of our sister churches in the benefice.
