Youth Ministry
St James, Lower Hutt

St James Church is the Anglican central city parish in Lower Hutt. Presently they have a senior youth group of 20. These young people actively engage in both traditional and contemporary worship and music is a strong emphasis in both the choir and the youth band.

The church also has a close connection with Chilton St James (girls' Anglican college) and is across the road from Hutt Valley High (1800 students).

We desire to increase the discipleship focus on our youth and develop the sense of mission and community.
