Families

All ages and all kinds are welcome!

Mission

At St. James the Great, we serve all children, youth, young adults, and all understandings of family.

Ministry

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.

Families & Children

As a multi-generational church, we celebrate the gift of faith through worship, in conversation, through learning, in fellowship, and in service.

What we’re learning this month in Kids’ Church

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

—1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)

This is one of the verses that St. James’ Kids will memorize this month. This means being thankful even when things are hard, not just when things are fun. And as Christians, thanksgiving is not just a single day but a lifestyle of gratitude, and continuous attitude of praise to God for all things God has done. 

Kids’ Church Collage (Oct. 2025)
Here are five ways we can be thankful:
① We can be thankful that God answers our prayers (Isaiah 65:24; John 11:41).
② We can be thankful for God’s provision for our needs (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18;1 Timothy 4:4-5).
③ We can be thankful for God’s blessings (1 Chronicles16:34; Philippians 4:6).
④ We can be thankful for God’s character and wondrous works (Psalm 7:17; 2 Corinthians 9:15).
⑤ We can be thankful for our family at church (1 Corinthians 1:4; Ephesians 1:16; Philippians 1:3-5).
 
St. James Family, thank you for being a church that is led by God. Thank you for being a church where generations build their faith. To God be all the glory!

Love,

Ms. Krishen and Miss Araceli
