Welcome

We are delighted you have found our website.

The North Barrow Team Ministry serves the Hindpool, Ormsgill and Parkside areas of Barrow-in-Furness:

  • St James the Great in Hindpool now provides services for all the above districts.
  • The churches of St Francis (Ormsgill) and St Matthew (Parkside) are now sadly closed.
  • The St Matthews community hall still serves area for other activities and groups.

In these pages you will find information about life in our team. There is space to explore the faith, to pray, to ask questions and to make contact with us. We hope the information will be helpful but its really just a means to an end, that end is to bring people to the love of Christ.

At St James we work hard to maintain a safe environment for all. We are committed to implementing the House of Bishops’ safeguarding policies and good practice guidance. If you have any concerns or enquiries regarding safeguarding, please contact our safeguarding officer (contact details on our Safeguarding webpage).

In a rapidly changing world the church sometimes struggles to keep up yet we exist, as we always have, to proclaim that love of God to all.

May you glimpse something of that love through our website and we hope to see you soon.

With every Blessing
