Parochial Church Council
The PCC consists of 12 elected members plus clergy, church wardens and members of the Deanery & Diocesan Synods. Meetings are generally held eight times a year and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting is usually held in April. At this meeting church wardens and PCC members are elected. Nomination forms for vacant seats are put up in the church several weeks before the APCM.

The financial support of the Church is raised, in the main, through Stewardship. Members of the scheme are encouraged to commit a regular payment, i.e. monthly, quarterly, annually, to the Church by way of Standing order.
Both regular and one off donors are encouraged to sign a Gift Aid Declaration, which enables the Church to claim a tax rebate (currently 28p for every £ donated) from the Inland Revenue. Gift Aid Declarations are available at the back of the Church. The current daily cost of running the Parish is nearly £500 - and rising - and so every 28p is very useful!
For further information on Stewardship, please contact either Rory Kee 01932 888145 or e-mail: rory@keescott.co.uk, or any member of the Clergy or the Churchwardens.
Gift Aid Form
Founded in 1988, the Friends of St James' Church is an Association of local people and organisations who, whilst not necessarily regular worshippers at the church, appreciate the value of the church in the centre of this busy town.
The aims of the Association are to raise funds for the repair, restoration and maintenance of the Church, which is one of the finest examples of the architecture of John Loughborough Pearson. With its graceful proportions and tall spire, St James' has been called "The Cathedral of the Thames Valley", and the installation of floodlighting some years ago has made the spire a landmark by night and day.
