Our Sunday service starts at 10am. You will find a warm welcome, spirit-filled worship and engaging teaching from the Bible. We serve tea and coffee at the end of the service.

On the 1st Sunday of the month we have an all age service, and the following 3 Sundays we run groups for children and young people during the service.

Our Story

Graft Team from St Thomas Philadelphia – 2025

In September 2025, a team of 27 people from St Thomas Philadelphia (Philly) came to join with the existing congregation at St James and St Christopher’s. Rev Zak Venable, previously curate at Philly, is leading the church as Priest-in-Charge and Oversight Minister. This is a new season for our church and we are excited to see what God will do.

History

When the Shiregreen estate was being built in the 1930s, children across the Diocese of Sheffield raised money to buy land for a church to be built. This is why the church is dedicated to St Christopher. Just as children and young people were a vital part of the church’s beginning, we believe that they are a precious part of our present and future.The church was consecrated on the 11th January 1941, Shiregreen having become an independent parish in 1938 (most of it being taken out of the parishes of Ecclesfield and Wincobank).
