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.

It was a rough start to the year for some of our neighbors here in Southern California. In the last few weeks, we’ve talked to the children that God is at work in the disaster, as always, and God’s joy is our strength. We highlighted the people’s strength, and discussed stories about firefighters, first responders, and different communities coming together to protect and support those affected. We believe that in times of crisis, stories of helpers can be incredibly comforting. Our St. James’ Kids wrote thank-you notes to the firefighters.
We also prayed that those who have lost homes and belongings would have the resources they need to rebuild their lives. The children also wrote notes in our donated goods. These small efforts help children see the kindness and goodness that can emerge during challenging times. We pray that our church continues to radiate God’s love to the community, offering support, care, and the hope of Christ to those who are hurting and in need.
Love,
Ms. Krishen and Miss Araceli
