Growing into an Inclusive Community
We are a group of post-secondary students and young adults who are seeking to live into what authentic Christian community means.
Social / Community Events:
Occasionally, we switch things up a bit and have a social event or enjoy another activity (eg. apple picking for the Food Bank) instead of having a guest speaker.
What Students Say ...
“I really like that the gathering is a place to worship God and share in community with others. I appreciate that there is no pressure to it and that we are posed questions to provoke further thought by each week’s speakers. I really appreciate the variety of speakers at the Gathering as you get a different type of thinker every week.”

“The Gathering is an opportunity to join other Christians to deepen my faith by pondering the hard questions.
Answering these harder questions is made less intimidating by the fact that there are other university students and other non-university members of St. James there who are struggling alongside me and who are encouraging me. Each person I’ve sat with for worship and dinner has given me wisdom and information with which I’ve gone home and pondered for the week.
The Gathering has been a chance for me to bring my friends to experience this growth with me. It truly is a blessing each and every Sunday to be recognised and welcomed and it is something to which I look forward each and every week!”
