Graft Team from St Thomas Philadelphia – 2025<\/strong><\/p>

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.<\/p>

History<\/strong>

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).<\/div><\/div>
