St. James United Church is located in the heart of the town of Antigonish at the corner of Main Street and Church Street. Established in 1804, the church has been a part of the changes which have taken place in the town, the province, and the country over the past two hundred years.
We are a congregation within the United Church of Canada and are pleased to welcome people of all backgrounds from the town and county to our community of faith. We are also pleased to be the “home away from home” for students attending St. Francis Xavier University and the participants at the Coady International Institute.

RESUMING OUR ACTIVITIES
On September 6, 2020 we reopened out church to in person worship and are slowly restarting our programs and activities.
Most Committees of the church have continued meeting most over Zoom but some in person.
The Virtual Coffee Time is ongoing each Thursday morning via Zoom. If you are interested please contact Rev. Peter.
Tuesday and Thursday Hot Meal The Hot Meal Committee met in the fall of 2020 and after careful consideration decided to not restart our Tuesday and Thursday Hot Meals for the present time. We hope when the state of emergency restrictions ease to be able to offer the meals again in our hall.
“Living Faithfully During Covid 19” is the our congregational plan for reopening St. James safely this fall. The document is the result of a great deal of work by staff and various committees of the church using advice and direction from NS Public Health and the United Church of Canada. Anyone wanting a paper copy is asked to contact the office 902-863-2001 or office@stjamesuc.com.
The online worship services at St. James will continue throughout the fall. The services will be posted each week on our website and through social media.
In person worship services at St. James will resume on September 6, 2020. Because of the social distancing requirements our available seating in the sanctuary is limited so we are asking that those who intend to come to the building for worship to please contact the church office at 902-983-2001 starting on Tuesday, September 1st.
