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.

This summer has been amazing, and it’s more extra special when parents started joining us at Kids’ Church. We are truly thankful for the closeness we all share, and for every chance we get to be together as a family. We are reminded to thank Jesus for this beautiful faith journey.
In a few weeks, children will go back to school. Some of them likely feel a mixture of sadness, excitement, and apprehension: sad the summer season is ending, but excited for the new experiences and challenges of
their next grade level. To make the most of this new beginning, I want to share these key verses: Joshua 1:9 for courage, Philippians 4:6–7 for peace, and Colossians 3:23 for daily effort and doing your best.
May God bless this new school year with wisdom, safety, and joy for every student, family, and school community.
Love,
Ms. Krishen
