About St. James Episcopal Church

At St. James Episcopal Church, our mission is to be a welcoming community of faith that seeks to know Christ and make Christ known through worship, fellowship, and service.

Our History

Founded in 1878, St. James Episcopal Church has been serving the community for nearly a century and a half. Our historic building stands as a testament to the faith and dedication of generations of parishioners who have worshipped here.

Throughout our history, we have been committed to serving our community through outreach, education, and spiritual growth. Our congregation has grown and changed over the years, but our core values of faith, service, and inclusivity remain the same.

How Does the Episcopal Church Differ From Other Denominations?

We walk the "middle way" between Protestant and Catholic traditions. We believe that, whether or not we agree on a particular topic, we all are children beloved by God and we can have thoughtful and respectful discussions. There are no prerequisites in the Episcopal Church … Everyone is welcome.

The Episcopal Church celebrates diversity. We are young and old, male and female, gay and straight, single, married, divorced and widowed, Anglo, African American, Latino, African, Asian, CEO and unemployed, student and teacher, rich and poor. We worship together, study and ask questions as we move more deeply into the mystery of God.

We honor tradition and strive to live by the example of Jesus Christ, welcoming the stranger and the outcast, helping our neighbors and offering love and forgiveness. We want our communities to be better because The Episcopal Church is here.

We are known for our engaging and beautiful worship services. For those who have grown up Roman Catholic, the service, known as the Mass, Eucharist or Holy Communion, will be familiar. For those of reformed tradition or those with no religious tradition, we think you may find a spiritual home in a church that respects its tradition and maintains its sense of awe and wonder at the power and mystery of God.
