From Tin Temple to stately spire, with a sojourn in Mars Street in between, how far and how
graciously has God moved the Congregation of St James’ Church.
 
He has blessed us with leaders of stature and dignity, who have been at the forefront of our
organisations and our Church and we praise His name.
 
In 1914, as WW1 darkened Western Europe, a group of people came together to begin a
Presbyterian Congregation to bring light to the folk of the eastern suburbs of Johannesburg. 
A band of determined Scots descendents began their meetings in the “Star Bioscope Hall” in
Denver, with the first “meeting” being held on 30 March 1914.  First Communion was held
on 2 May 1914.  By June of that year the church was home to a Sunday School of over 100
children and had a constituted WA.
