Find a church

St James, Welland is a friendly and welcoming church and active in reaching out to the local community.

For up to date details about our services please visit our website www.hopechurchfamily.org/calendar

Although we are a parish in our own right, we share quite a lot of activities with St Gabriel's Church, Hanley Swan, and are also part of the wider grouping of Church of England parishes, the Hope Church Family. This means we do our best to support each other's events and share activities where it makes sense. This is particularly the case with what we do for young people. To find out more, please visit our Youth and Kids page..
