Home - St James Church, Bream Website

Welcome to the website of St James Church Bream

Whether you are a member of our congregation, thinking of becoming one, or simply looking for a church whilst on holiday in the Royal Forest of Dean, you can be sure of a warm welcome.

We are a welcoming, user friendly Church, enthusiastic about God, our faith and other people. The Congregation is a mix of people from many traditions and backgrounds. We have an open and innovative approach to being Church and are eager to meet the needs of a diverse congregation, which has a wide age range and an interesting mix of people, including many young families.

You can find out all about life at St James on this website, but if you would like any more information please do not hesitate to contact us.

Lively spirit led worship, with a talented Music Team, and a flexible approach to our services. We are very committed to Every Member Ministry and encourage people to get involved in every part of Church life.

Youth Work - The Young People of the church play a major role in the Evening Services. They have their own musicans and singers who make up the worship group and each week they take it in turns to read the bible passage which is based on the theme of the service. They are also responsible for operating the projector and PA system. We are pleased to see this group going from strength to strength as we see more young people join us as the evening congregation begins to grow.

Following the evening service there is an opportunity to stay for a cuppa and food. The young people usually stay longer where they join together for a Bible Study.

Children’s work: a talented group of volunteers lead an interesting programme during Sunday Morning Worship. We want to serve our children in the same way we serve the rest of the congregation. We have a soundproofed crèche, staffed by volunteers. Parents can choose to leave their children or to stay with them. There is an audio feed to enable parents to listen to the service.

We feel it is important to involve the children in all areas of the church especially in the services. We therefore have a 'kids talk' for them close to the beginning of the service where they can participate - which is always enjoyable for everyone. Following this they can go upstairs for their Sunday School (J Squad) activities.
