We believe that God is calling St James’ Church Bishopbriggs to be a place and a community in which people can:
- find out more about Christianity
- recover their faith
- explore the God-given spiritual dimension of their lives
- find out how the Bible speaks to men and women today
- respond in praise and thanksgiving to the God who is revealed through Jesus Christ and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit
- serve God and their fellow human beings in the ways of love, peace and justice which Christ taught.
One visitor described St James as the best example of a modern church building he had seen. Together with a sense of peace it has a warm and welcoming feel to it, and this is true also of its people, which is why the church’s tag line is “St James is an inviting church”. St James’ ethos is open, inquiring and non-judgemental with strong emphases on education, the role of music and on social justice. Visitors are always welcome and the church is ecumenical in its approach – keen to build bridges and work together with other Christians. It regularly plays host to the Bishopbriggs Churches Together group.
