Our Mission & Vision

At St. James, our mission is to create a transformational church for the digital age. St. James embraces Christ’s teachings as a way of life, and is an inclusive, relevant, and dynamic spiritual community whose mission is spreading the Gospel to the world.  

Ministries

God has called us to serve those in need in our local, national and global communities. At St. James, we are committed to accomplishing this by reaching out to the underserved with compassion and action in the way of Christ.

Working Together to Help Others

Global Outreach

“Think Locally, Act Globally” is our motto as we reach beyond boundaries to spread the Gospel through action in communities far from our own. In Tanzania, we are supporting a project to bring education and fresh water to a Maasai community. We offer cultural service projects and trips to Tanzania. For more information please contact:
