We have a strong tradition of prayerful worship and community service, as well as playing a key role in the life of the village.
You are assured of a warm welcome, both at our regular services and also at our special services held to mark Christmas, Easter and the other significant events in the church calendar. We also plan a number of community-based events throughout the year.

We currently hold one service a week, a spoken Eucharist each Sunday at 11am. As we are currently in an interregnum this will be carried out by a visiting priest. On some Sundays the service may be limited to Morning Prayer.
You can also access streaming services from Durham Cathedral via the Durham Cathedral Facebook page.

St. James church collects on a continuous basis at three collection points within the village of Burnopfield , this has taken place over several years and the special annual harvest festival collection has always yielded very generous donations. This year we are encouraging people to donate toiletries, feminine hygeine items and household cleaning products, which are all in short supply at the Stanley Foodbank. Thank you.
