St. James — A Place to Feed and Be Fed

We are an affirming community, and we welcome you, no matter who you are, to come and be fed at the communion table and the fellowship table. Online or in person, we look forward to walking the path of faith with you.

St. James 2026 Annual Pledge

We invite you to walk in love with us this year by making a pledge to support the mission and ministries of St. James.

What’s New This Week

THE FEAST OF THE BAPTISM OF OUR LORD - We don’t get to celebrate Baptisms as often as we do the Eucharist, so it can be easy to forget that it was the first sacrament. This Sunday, listen to Matthew’s version of Jesus’ Baptism by John in the river Jordan, and consider what it told us about the Messiah and what it has meant that we have joined with him in this act. We will be renewing our Baptismal vows on this day with asperges.

ANNUAL MEETING - Sunday, January 25 - Our Annual Meeting is on January 25 following the 9:00 a.m. service. The Annual Meeting will be held in Centennial Hall. This is an important day for us as we elect leaders and discuss plans for the year to come.
