St. James’s is a member of Churches Together around Hampton (CTAH) which is part of the wider Churches Together in England, seeking to bring together different Christian denominations. Eight churches belong to CTAH: two Roman Catholic, three Anglican, one Baptist, one Methodist and one URC in Hampton, Hanworth and Hampton Hill, each enjoying their own tradition, but also seeking to work together.

In Hampton, Churches Together holds regular meetings of the ministers of the eight member churches. Forum meetings, with clergy and lay representatives from each church, are held two to three times a year, and there is an AGM each October. There are shared activities such as Christian Aid Week and the distribution of hot cross buns to commuters in Holy Week. There is a rolling programme of activities that attract varying levels of response and involvement. There are several Services of shared worship throughout the year.

CTAH is part of the country-wide Churches Together in England (CTIE) initiative for ecumenical activity at the local level.
