Membership Care
Membership Care
Life includes seasons of pain, loss, sickness, and crisis. Whether you need a meal, prayer, encouragement or biblical counselling, we want to walk alongside you through these struggles.
The first and most natural place where we receive care at St James is within our Growth Groups. It is here, in times of both joy and suffering, that we are cared for and care for one another by providing meals, visits and prayer.
If you are part of a Growth Group, we encourage you to reach out there first. If you are not yet part of a Growth Group and would like to find out more, please click here: https://www.stjames.org.za/grow

At its heart, Christian care is a form of “one-anothering” and discipleship. This course follows on from Gospel Conversations and equips ordinary Christians to care for one another as those who belong to Christ and his family.

GriefShare & DivorceCare
Grief and divorce are heavy roads to walk, and you do not have to walk them alone. We run both GriefShare and DivorceCare support groups, offering a caring community and biblical encouragement through seasons of loss and change. This is open to those who attend St James as well as non-members.
