Thank you to everyone who has supported the fundraising for the spire repairs - You have raised over £10,000 so far - we can now start to put work in place - Thank you!!

Our new Campaign is "Raise the Roof" to help provide funds to repair the church roof.

The ancient parish church of St James, North Cray has been here as a focal point for the community through many lifetimes. We are facing a number of significant challenges with the church building, the most pressing of these are our lovely church spire and the church roof.

Introduction

"Welcome to St James Church, - the Church of England parish church serving North Cray. The church building is situated on the North Cray Road on the edge of the beautiful Footscray Meadows. There has been a place of worship on this site for many centuries, although much of the original building was restored in the nineteenth century. The church is well-loved in the North Cray community. For a map of the immediate area, please click here

There is one service each Sunday morning at 9.30am lasting about an hour. This is usually a service of Holy Communion, with hymns, bible readings and a talk which leads us into the sharing of the bread and wine of communion. On the second Sunday of each month there is an All-Age service at 9.30am, suitable for all ages with lively singing and a rather more informal atmosphere

In August 2018, St James Church, North Cray became part of the Bexley Team partnering with the parish churches of St John's, Bexley, St Mary's, Bexley and St Barnabas, Joydens Wood.

Please do explore our website and visit our church here in North Cray where I know you will be given a warm welcome"
