    “Our hope is that, as other churches and individuals contribute to this project, St James and Emmanuel disappears from sight in an enormous wave of inclusion and good news.”

    God’s people come in all shapes and sizes – different ages, abilities, colours, sexualities, ethnicities and backgrounds.

    We want to put behind us any hint that the Church is a place of conformity, even exclusion, and boldly and confidently reclaim the Church that Jesus came to found – a place where everyone can belong.

    Church for Everyone is a project where fellowships of all denominations can share how we reflect God’s love in our communities.

    St James and Emmanuel is posting some of its experiences here in order to join with other churches. The hope is that this site will grow with contributions and become a resource to encourage, challenge and inspire.

    Let’s join together and share how we live out God’s love
