We are a lively community of faith striving to serve
God as “Doers of the Word and not hearers only.”
We hope you will find at St. James’s a church
where God is present, where God’s love is active,
and where God’s Spirit is always calling us to
follow Christ. There is much to be thankful for in this
life and there is so much to be done. Come and join
with us as we share in the life of faith and work together
to be the body of Christ.

*The Vestry of St. James's
has adopted the following four core values for the parish:
1. To celebrate God through worship that moves the spirit.
2. To be a welcoming, joyful and accepting community
by encouraging humility, faith in God, and faith in each other.

that transforms lives for Jesus Christ.
4. To nurture and raise our children in the knowledge
and love of Jesus Christ.
MISSION
STATEMENT
The mission of St. James's Episcopal
Church is to be a welcoming urban parish, proclaiming
the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Doers of the Word and not
Hearers only; challenging one another through Word and
Sacrament to grow in the knowledge of the Lord; answering
God's call to love and serve others; standing as a beacon
of Christ's light in the World. |
