About Us
We are an international English-speaking
Christian community with deep ties to Porto's history.
We are part of the Church of England, within the Archdeaconry of Gibraltar, which in turn is part of the Diocese in Europe. Our church lies in the heart of the beautiful city of Porto.
We extend a very warm welcome to Christians of all denominations, especially to members of the Portuguese community amongst whom we live. We have a very diverse congregation, and all visitors are welcome to join us, whether they are pilgrims on Caminho, short stay tourists, expatriates, native Portuguese or longer term visitors.

The Choir
We have an active choir that practices half-an-hour prior to our 11.00 am Sunday services. We are not professionals and all are welcome.

We are seeking a voluntary Local Environmental Officer to lead our "Caring for Creation" initiatives. In this role, you will inspire the congregation to reduce our carbon footprint and act as a vital link between the chaplaincy and the Diocese. If you are passionate about environmental stewardship, please contact the Churchwardens at churchwardens@stjamesporto.org or speak with Father Colin to learn more.

In addition, the committee supervises the identification and listing of available plots for future reservation, the administration of headstones, the setting of cemetery fees, and the organization of individual and group visits to the cemetery.
