Activity & financial
The national policy plan is to be found at the website of the Deanery; the local policy is as follows: the purpose of the Chaplaincy is to enable people to share in the worship of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in English according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England and also to reach out spiritually and pastorally to those living in Voorschoten and its environs who do not belong to another Church particularly to those who are English speaking (cf. article 3 of the Chaplaincy constitution). The Chaplaincy may have paid staff and other workers, and also may compensate volunteer workers for their activities to the maximum allowable annual amount.
At its 2025 annual meeting the church council presented the annual report looking back over 2024. 2024 was a good year for St James, with new initiatives being started and new people joining the church. The vision discernment process was formally started and the new vision statement was presented at the annual meeting: St James is called to be "a Christ-centred community that invites people on a journey of faith, growth, and action." The full annual report is available here.
