At St. James the Great, we serve all children, youth, young adults, and all understandings of family.
At St. James the Great, we seek to find a common place where all members—regardless of history, affiliation, experience, or profession, can find and foster a relationship with God in community. Our family events and ministries are to be a place where anyone can experience loving relationship with our church through meaningful gatherings of work and play.
As a multi-generational church, we celebrate the gift of faith through worship, in conversation, through learning, in fellowship, and in service.

Thank you so much to those who celebrated Resurrection Sunday with us. We hope you handled those Easter candies well. That Sunday, we discussed that Christ has risen, and a few children asked, “Where did Jesus go? Did he go to heaven right away?” Well, he didn’t go straight up to heaven afterwards. He was actually on earth for forty days prior to his ascension, and during that time he appeared in various ways to people.
We will learn more about that this month. The life, death, and resurrection of Christ is the importance of the whole Bible. It demonstrates fulfillment of God’s great plan and proves he keeps his promises. Our job is to recognize the significance of what Christ did, and to share that with one another. We are to rejoice in his resurrection and to worship and praise God. We can be eager to continue his work on earth as we love and serve his people.
Love,
Ms. Krishen and Miss Araceli
