Join a Team
One of the best ways to get involved at St James and to meet new people is to join one of our serving teams. They're fun, rewarding and vital in how the Church is the Church!! You're also never too young so we love it when our kids and youth sign up too!
To register your interest about any of these teams, or something new you'd like to be involved in, click here to fill out this form.
Welcome & Refreshments Team
Welcome is so important to us at St Mary's! We also have plenty of food and cuppas on Sundays! Could you join our refreshments team and help set up and serve the refreshments? Or be a friendly face on the door?
StM Kids Team
At St Mary's, we're privileged to have a lot of young families worshipping with us. We provide children's groups during the morning service and are often in need of an extra pair of hands. Do you have a passion for seeing children grow in relationship with Jesus? Are you prepared to have a lot of fun in the process?
Worship Team
We love to worship God with music and singing at St Mary's, and we're blessed to have skilled musicians leading us on Sundays. Do you feel called to serve God with your musical gifting?
Sound & Laptop
It's always great when you can hear what the person at the front of church is saying and you can see words or pictures on the screen to match! In order to achieve this, and other special effects, we have a skilled team of Sound and Laptop operators who help us get our talks and music sounding crystal clear. It's not as difficult as it sounds so why not give it a try!
Photography & Social Media
Do you love getting great snaps of our church family? Photos are a great way to show what being part of StJ community looks like. Whether this be a Sunday service, Toddler Group, Lilyfield or other events, the photography team would love to be a part of it!
Building & Grounds Maintenance
St Mary's Church is surrounded by quite extensive grounds. Our Church is used well during the week so we try our best to keep the inside and the outside looking tidy, litter to a minimum and the pathway clear and safe. Volunteers help us do this! (No gardening experience required).
Parent and Toddler Group
In 2025, we'll be launching a parent and toddler group on Wednesday mornings. It's a place where babies and toddlers with their parents and guardians get looked after, have fun, chat and build community. We're always on the look out for extra helpers: set up, teas and coffees or chatting with parents and keeping an eye on the kids!
Admin/Co-ordinator Roles
There are some wonderful people in our church gifted in communication, admin, finance and co-ordination of people. If that's you and you'd like to serve in this way, do get in touch with the Ops team or click the link above to register your interest!
All our rotas can be found on Church Suite, our church management system. Please contact the office if you would like login details. The list above is also not exhaustive, so if you have a gift or a way you'd like to serve, get in touch!
