St James’ Church

St James’ Church
Kirklands Lane, Baildon, BD17 6HH

St James’ is known locally as The Little White Church for its picturesque appeal and beautiful biblical garden. The church is a unique Grade II listed building constructed almost entirely of wood.

St James’ was completely renovated in 2008 with the addition of a comfortable lounge, kitchen, toilets and state-of-the-art under-floor heating. It is surrounded by a Biblical Garden complete with ponds and has become a beautiful new centre for the whole community. See a Guide to our Biblical garden here

St James’ main church service of the week is on Sundays at 10.30am. This is a Holy Communion service with prayers, readings from the Old and New Testament, a Gospel reading, hymns, a sermon and the giving and receiving of Communion (bread and wine) or a blessing. Everybody is welcome.

On the fifth Sunday of the month the whole parish worship together at St John’s, St James’ or St Hugh’s at 10.00am on a rotational basis. Please see the diary section of our weekly pew sheets for venues and dates.

Weekday Service – We hold a Holy Communion service on Wednesdays at 10.00am. Everyone is welcome.

Primrose Knitters and Scrabblers
This is an informal group who meet to chat whilst knitting or crafting, or they play games of Scrabble. Refreshments are served during the session. It’s a friendly group for people who are looking for a way to socialise and meet new friends. Sessions cost £2. Just turn up at St James’ on Thursdays at 2pm.

Ladies Fellowship
We promote friendship and fellowship amongst ladies of the parish. Everybody is welcome. Meetings take place on the 4^th Tuesday of each month from September to June (excluding December). Meetings start with a two-course meal during which members have the chance to meet up and chat. This is followed by a talk from a speaker (topics have ranged from Shipley Glen Tramway to Baildon’s bygone days) or entertainment from the Baildon Ladies’ Choir.
