St. James the Apostle Anglican Church has been a worshiping community in Sharon/East Gwillimbury for over 150 years (est. 1869). The church retains its charm from the original white clapboard building of 1869 and provides an intimate yet familiar worship space just south of the historic Sharon Temple on Leslie Street.

 We've been honoured to serve God and the people of Sharon within a relatively small community that is about to see enormous growth. We are continually adapting to the changing needs of our community and are always looking for new ways that we can join in God's good work. 

We are a gathering of God's beloved children who seek to do God's will by feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and welcoming the stranger. We are an open and inclusive community that upholds the dignity of every human being, and we strive to be good stewards of creation.

There are so many ways to get to know our community; worshiping with us on Sundays or Wednesdays, stopping by for movie night, joining us for Burgers and Berries in the summer, volunteering at our clothing depot, or coming as a patron to our food closet...the list goes on and on (see our events list on the front page for more ideas)!
