WELCOME TO ST JAMES THE DEACON
St James the Deacon is a welcoming, friendly church
serving God and the community in Woodthorpe, Acomb Park
and Foxwood, along with parts of Dringhouses West and
Acomb within the city of York.
The Parish was formed in the 1950’s to meet the needs of
new new housing being built in South West York and the
current church built in 1970 with the Hall added in 2010.
We are the only church dedicated to James the Deacon, an
Italian misionary who came to Yorkshire and Northumbria in
the seventh Century and ministered to the people there in
dangerous circumstances.
We invite you to find out more through exploring this website
and would love to welcome you in person to our church and
hall.
