Who We Are

Centered in Christ, Inclusion, and Justice

Our Mission

Saint James Presbyterian Church is a Christ-centered, missional church called to be relevant, spiritually healthy, inclusive, and dedicated to serving God and one another through vibrant worship and intergenerational ministry that glorifies God and transforms all things and all people.

Our Vision

We strive to create a spiritually healthy, just, intergenerational, radically inclusive community of faith that transforms lives by dismantling systemic racism, nurturing emerging leaders, and empowering the marginalized.

Our Values

Biblically Driven

Holy Scripture is the ultimate guiding authority through which we discern the voice of God which guides the way we lead, teach, study and live godly lives.

(Book of Confessions, pp. Chapter XIX, 3.19 page 20)

Excellence

Presenting our best to God in whatever we do as Christians as well as Presbyterians.

(1989 NRSV, 2 Timothy 2:15,16; Book of Order W 501, Worship and Personal Life, page 115)

Inclusive

We value the uniqueness of God’s creation and encourage active participation and discipleship.

(Book of Confessions, Chapter IV, 6.022, page 153)

Loving and Warm Community

Modeling Jesus’ love and being a welcoming, nurturing, and compassionate environment.

(1989 NRSV, I Corinthians 12:12 – 26, Philippians 2:1-5)

Missional

“Proclaiming to all people the good news of God’s love, offering to all people the grace of God through sacraments, and calling all people to discipleship in Christ”, through social justice and being a Matthew 25 congregation.

Open Mindedness

Practice being open to experiences we’ve not had to grow and adapt over time as we lean into a sense of wonder and discovery.

(Book of Confessions,  Part II, Section 2 – 9.40, page 293)

Trust

As a Christ-centered church, we rely on the power of the Holy Spirit at work in our community, and everywhere the “giver and renewer of life” leads us.

(Book of Confessions, A Brief Statement of Faith, 1983, page 308 – 312)
