The Kingdom Tree
Our church structure and visual identity are based on a story Jesus once told to help explain what the Kingdom of God is like.
Jesus once told a story about a tree that grew from the smallest of seeds. As it grew larger and larger the birds of the air were attracted to the shade and made nests in its many branches (Mark 4:30-32). Our church structure and visual identity are based on this parable.
St James & Emmanuel is like this tree with many branches, meeting in four buildings, with four Sunday congregations and numerous mid-week groups. Each of these ‘branches’ offers a different and varied place of belonging.
Our church is home to many community groups and voluntary organisations and, together with our church school, we offer a place of sanctuary and welcome for thousands of people and help them to fulfil their calling in the world.
We hope you will find a place here too.
