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.

Jesus calls us to know, follow, and learn from him, just as he called his disciples. In one of our activities, I let the children carry several items. When their hands were full, I asked them to open a candy and enjoy it. Of course, they complained that it was a tricky task! They all decided to put down and let go of the items they were holding to open the candy. I explained that we must sometimes set aside what we think is important in order to get something much better. Sometimes we have to let go of one thing in order to embrace another.Â
Love,
Ms. Krishen
