At St. Philip and St. James we try to be a welcoming and friendly Church and to provide a place to worship where everyone can fit in and feel that they belong. We are a local Church, although a number of our members live in or around Gloucester. In many ways we are a very ordinary Church. Ordinary people who worship and serve an extraordinary God. We are constantly trying to overcome the barriers that might divide us - age, attitude, class and gender - in order to foster a sense of family and belonging. Our worship styles are diverse ranging from BCP and Common Worship to Informal and Celebration services. Music is an important part of our worship and we try to use both modern worship groups with video projection as well as the organ and hymn books. We also seek to receive from God through an emphasis upon teaching the Bible and receiving prayer and ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit. We try to be serious and world-facing, seeking to apply the ageless gospel to the demands of a modern and complex world, through an approach which is flexible and contemporary. We have a number of small groups which meet for fellowship, study and prayer throughout the week. We also have a number of activities especially for children and young people. We like to think deeply, but we also like to experiment, to laugh a lot and to have fun.
