Welcome
We are a friendly and faithful church community here at St James, with between 25 and 35 congregation members at a service. Although some of us are more mature in years, we are young at heart and lively in spirit. Everyone is guaranteed a warm welcome, whatever your belief, whether friend and stranger, the church door always remains open. St James never closes, so come and take a look for yourself.
About Us
St James Church is a small, rural church nestling in the Warwickshire countryside. The church and churchyard are beautifully maintained by a team of devoted volunteers. People who enter St James sense God’s presence along with a spiritual, calm and peacefulness that the church and its surroundings radiate. The seasons of Easter, Harvest and Christmas are celebrated with special floral displays and are well worth a visit. We would love you to come and join us for whatever you need. Welcome!
Regular Service Pattern
Third Sunday of the month at 9am - alternating between Morning Worship and Holy Communion. Conversation and friendship, along with tea, coffee and biscuits are served after every service.
For additional seasonal services or any changes to this pattern, please see the Minster Services page.

Did you know this was the Summer of Stained Glass? If you're visiting St James, come see the glass we have:
You are welcome to visit St James Church, Weethley and see the stained-glass panel in the window on the lefthand side as you enter.
It is adapted from the painting entitled ‘The Light of the World’, by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt in 1854, which hangs in St Paul’s Cathedral, London.
Jesus’ lantern lights the way, as He patiently watches and waits, for us to invite Him into our hearts and our lives. There is no handle on Jesus’ side of the door; we need to open it.
The picture beautifully illustrates the words from Revelation 3:20: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me".
Come and view the panel and experience Christ’s invitation to us all.
Location, opening times and visiting
The church is open at all times. Please turn the handle and push open the door, as, like some of us, it is a little stiff in the damp or cold weather. There is ample car parking spaces but no toilet facilities. We have seats behind the church. Do come and bring a picnic and sit awhile and enjoy the tranquillity away from the busyness of life in the churchyard. The views across the fields and hills are truly spectacular, whatever the weather.
