Our hearts are with you
We are a vibrant, welcoming congregation committed to sharing the joyful warmth of Christ’s love. We worship together, learn together, and serve together. Our church buildings are currently closed for the safety of our community, but we hope you’ll join us for virtual worship. Take care of one another, and may God’s peace be with us all.
St. James’ worship and activities are currently ONLINE ONLY.
