We believe it is important to offer worship to God which people of all ages and from a variety of traditions will want to share. We have an excellent music team and a large choir, a dedicated team of Servers and Eucharistic Ministers, and people share fully in the liturgy by reading the Scriptures and leading the Intercessions.

St. James's subscribes to the Inclusive Church Network and seeks to be a place which does not discriminate, on any level, on grounds of economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality. We believe in Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.

The church is open every day to provide a spiritual oasis in a busy world. Do come along and enjoy the peace and find space to be with God. Our building is beautiful; it includes a well-preserved hammer-beam roof, one of the oldest in Hertfordshire, a rare painting of the Arms of Queen Anne and memorials to some of the Bushey artists.

St. James's is pleased to be linked with and promote several other groups and activities in Bushey. Particularly The Red Trust, Rose Garden, Bushey Festival, Bushey Museum, St James Music and Drama and Reveley Lodge.

We also enjoy close links with a number of schools in the parish and many of the clergy are school governors and regularly lead assemblies and school services.
