As summer winds down, there’s something special about coming home.
Summer gives us time to travel, spend time with family, explore new places, and step away from our usual routines. But as September arrives, many of us begin looking for something familiar—a community, a connection, and a place where we belong.
Whether you’ve been away for the summer, haven’t been to church in a while, are visiting Newport Beach, or are searching for a church home, we invite you to walk through our doors and discover a community where you are welcome.
More Than Sunday Service
At St. James the Great, church is about more than Sunday worship. It’s about people.
It’s a place where generations come together, friendships grow, faith is nurtured, and people discover meaningful ways to serve. Through worship, music, fellowship, outreach, children and family programs, and a variety of ministries, there are many opportunities to connect and become part of the community.
What makes St. James the Great special is the warmth of the people. You don’t have to know anyone before you arrive or have everything figured out. You can simply come as you are.
Come Find Your Place
On Sunday, September 20, 2026, St. James the Great welcomes our congregation, returning members, and those looking for a church home to Back to Church Sunday.
