A Warm Welcome to our Home Page

St. James is a suburban seaside parish on the outskirts of Margate, Kent. The church was founded in 1872 and is blessed with a very attractive building that has an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness. Many visitors comment on the striking East Window which depicts the growth of the church from the day of Pentecost to the present world wide community of Christians.

There is a strong emphasis on Biblical preaching and teaching throughout the life of the church. There is a full range of youth activities for all ages, from tiny tots to teenagers, as well as uniformed organisations - Cubs, Beavers and Scouts - attending the monthly family services
(full details of all events can be found in our Diary of Events).

As a church we seek in all that we do to be under the authority of the Word of God, and our goal is to see men and women come to a personal knowledge of Jesus as Lord and Saviour, and to grow to Christian maturity.

1 Corinthians 15.58

Therefore my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labour is not in vain.
