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

“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me . . .”

—Mark 9:37 (NIV)

Jesus taught the disciples to welcome children. It is important not only to treat them well but also to teach them about God. The children are watching us, our example as praying church is our most important training tool. 

Kids’ Church Collage (Oct. 2025)
This month at St. James Kids Church, we will offer Prayer Petals for Peace. Mr. Ariel and Ms. Krishen will capture the children’s prayers on paper petals that will be made into flowers that will be presented in a garland encircling the Ukrainian prayer candle in the side chapel. We will also display a world map and each Sunday, we will encourage them to pray for different countries. We pray that our children keep following Jesus, and keep shining their light in this world. 

Love,

Ms. Krishen and Miss Araceli
