St James’ Church

We’re glad you found us! We are a friendly rural Parish located within an area of outstanding natural beauty in the heart of the Surrey Hills and are part of the Leith Hill Benefice. The Benefice is part of Dorking Rural Deanery within the Diocese of Guildford.

We aim to be a lively, relevant, loving church, that is valuable to God and to our neighbours.

Our church sits within the community it serves and is involved with all that village life has to offer. We offer a wide variety of services from our ‘Come and See’ services where we explore faith through the Contemplative tradition, prayer walks and ‘Sideways’ to the more traditional services with Common Worship (Parish Communion) and Choral Evensong with the Leith Hill Choirs. Services this month

We look forward to welcoming you, whatever your outlook or experience, age or stage of life. Our beautiful Church is open daily to all so please do come in when you are passing.
