Talk to God now, from your heart, in your own words. God understands.
We aim to be a warm, welcoming and accepting Christian community, seeking to make Christ known in our community.
This is a parish with two churches – the historic mother church of All Saints’ (The Mariners’ Church, dating from the 12th century) on the edge of town – and the early 19th Century St James’ Church in the town centre.
As well as having regular services, our church of St. James’ is open for private prayer on every weekday and seeks, through various social activities and teaching programmes, to help all who are searching to discover more about Christian faith and the life of the church.
Our mother church, All Saints’, although no longer the central place of worship, is an integral and essential part of our life together. We continue to enhance its role within the affections of the community and worship there regularly.
Brightlingsea has a rich mixture of civic activities, a wide range of voluntary clubs and organisations.
In the wider community the town has a strong civic tradition in which the church is a welcome partner. The two churches play significant roles in the life of the community.
