Parish Of Pyle & Kenfig

As The Family of Jesus We Welcome You. The Parish of Pyle and Kenfig is passionate about sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with our community. This is something the two churches have been doing for more than a thousand years.

Faith is the personal reality that Jesus is our best friend, our Saviour, and God. This is all so important, and affects so many lives. In a complicated world God calls us to know Him through His Son. He asks us to accept His love, and to let Him bless us every day. He comes to us in humility and power. He asks us to begin a relationship with Jesus that will never end, never diminish.
Fellowship is so important within the lives of St James and St Mary Magdalene. The buildings are ancient, in fact the oldest local buildings which are still in daily use. The mission of Jesus in this community could well go back to Roman times. Imagine that, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ for sixteen hundred years. Whilst this is an ancient ministry, it embodies a modern message. As we make our journey of life, we need the love and healing power which only God can bring us.
St James’ is just a little on from Pyle Cross, on the A48. We meet four times a week, and at other services also. It is a place where we share faith and share friendships. Everyone is welcome, as we celebrate fellowship in Jesus Christ.
St Mary Magdalene was built as a place of welcome and sanctuary almost 800 years ago. Compassion and acceptance for those excluded by society, meant that it has always stood as a beacon. They meet twice a week, and at other times. Everyone is welcome.
