St. James United

​

St. James United Church, established 60 years ago, serves as a spiritual hub for the coastal community of Sambro, part of the Halifax Regional Municipality. The church not only draws local residents from Sambro and its neighboring communities—Sambro Head, Ketch Harbour, Bald Rock, Portuguese Cove, Williamswood, and the Pennants—but also continues to attract individuals who have moved to the city yet remain connected to their roots.
​
The congregation at St. James United is diverse and inclusive, reflecting a wide range of religious backgrounds and professions, from fishermen to blue-collar and white-collar workers. The church is known for its biblically grounded yet open-minded approach to worship, welcoming people of all ages—from infants to seniors in their 90s. With a seating capacity of 300, the church typically sees an attendance of 40 to 60 people for its Sunday morning service, which begins at 10:30 am.
