Support Our Parish: A Living Legacy in Heysham
Our parish is a unique family of two churches: the ancient St Peter’s and the modern St James’. For over 1,200 years, a Christian presence has been maintained on the Heysham shore, from the Saxon stones of St Peter’s to the vibrant community life at St James’.
Together, we balance the profound responsibility of preserving our priceless heritage with a dynamic mission to be a church for everyone in Heysham today.
Your donation will make a direct difference in two crucial areas:
1. Caring for Our Heritage at St Peter’s
Your support helps us protect our ancient site for future generations. This includes:
- Conserving the 8th-century Saxon church and the famous Viking Hogback Stone.
- Essential repairs to the ancient roof, stonework, and windows, which are constantly exposed to the coastal weather.
- Preserving the historic pipe organ and other artefacts.
2. Sustaining Our Mission at St James’ and Beyond
Your gift also fuels our active, modern ministry across the whole parish. This supports:
- Our all-age, accessible worship and community events at St James’.
- The running costs of our warm and flexible modern space.
- Our outreach and service to the entire Heysham community.
Your support is vital. Together, we can ensure that our parish continues its ancient legacy of faith while serving the community today and for centuries to come.
You can support our parish family easily and securely online via our GiveALittle page. Every contribution, large or small, makes a real difference.
Thank you for your generosity. It helps us maintain both our ancient treasure and our modern community hub for all.
