We are a lively community of faith striving to serve
God as “Doers of the Word and not hearers only.”
We hope you will find at St. James's a church
where God is present, where God's love is active,
and where God's Spirit is always calling us to
follow Christ. There is much to be thankful for in this
life and there is so much to be done. Come and join
with us as we share in the life of faith and work together
to be the body of Christ.

WomanKind is hosted every two years by St. James’s and has become a nationally known women’s spirituality event. Women come from all over the country to attend this inspiring weekend of fellowship, lectures, workshops, music, and worship. This year marks our fourth WomanKind, and our theme is "Saving Graces."
Don't miss this opportunity to examine the issues we wrestle with every day--finances, relationships, and spirituality--in order to uncover the Graces we have locked up inside them, and in so doing, allow them to become the Saving Graces God intends them to be.
