Our Vision Statement: Who We Strive To Be
St. James' will build a lasting Christian community, grounded in faith and bound by love and the teaching of Christ. We will be a leader and innovator through our success in:
- Enhancing the spiritual lives of our parishioners through our ministries;
- Creating a loving and supportive community of Christian fellowship among parishioners; and
- Positively impacting the welfare of the whole community through outreach, promoting faith through action.
Our Mission Statement: Who We Are
St. James' is an historic Episcopal parish that is expanding and changing to meet the diverse needs of its parishioners and community. In order to better respond to the will of God, we meet these needs through worship and music, Christian education and formation, pastoral care, fellowship, and outreach.
Our View on Stewardship
We the Vestry, Officers, Clergy, and Lay Leadership of St. James' Parish recognize that everything we have and all that we are is a gift from God -- a gift that we are to use in ways that further God's purpose.
Stewardship is a thankful response to God's graciousness to us and an opportunity to praise God with our lives in thanksgiving. Stewardship is our faith in action. Therefore, we commit ourselves to a discipline of regular worship and planned giving. This commitment includes returning a definite portion of our time, talents, and treasures to accomplish God's will.
We urge every member of this congregation to accept this challenge and adopt this standard.
