I'm New | Start Here

We are excited to meet you

Welcome to St. James’s Episcopal Church!

Whether you are exploring faith for the first time, returning after many years away, or searching for a church to call home, we are glad you are here.

At St. James’s, we believe that faith is lived as much as it is believed. We gather to worship with joy, to ask honest questions, to grow in love, and to be transformed so that together we can help transform the world.

Our mission is simple: to live, learn, and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We seek to embody that mission through compassionate service, courageous justice, meaningful worship, and genuine relationships. From feeding our neighbors and caring for creation to supporting youth, families, and those on the margins, we strive to be a community where faith becomes action. This reflects both our parish vision and the wider Episcopal understanding of participating in God’s work of reconciliation and restoration.

Music is at the heart of our life together. Whether through inspiring hymns, our outstanding choir, instrumental music, concerts, or children’s music programs, we believe music opens hearts, deepens prayer, and brings people together. You don’t have to be a musician to appreciate the beauty and joy that music adds to our worship and community life.

Above all, St. James’s is a community. We celebrate life’s joys, walk with one another through life’s challenges, and welcome every person with dignity and respect. Children are cherished, questions are encouraged, diversity is celebrated, and all are invited to discover the love of God and the companionship of fellow travelers on their journey of faith.

No matter your background, your questions, your doubts, or where you are on your spiritual journey, there is a place for you here.

Come worship with us. Join us in serving our neighbors. Add your voice to our song. Become part of a community that seeks to share God’s love with the world.

We look forward to welcoming you to St. James’s.
