Disciples in a Tiffany window, look in wonder at the risen Christ....
St. James Episcopal Church is a forward-looking urban parish, grounded in the sacramental and liturgical life of The Book of Common Prayer, the Holy Scripture, and the Anglican tradition. We strive to be a faithful community that lives out our baptismal vows. It is the mission of the Church to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.
As lay persons, our ministry is to represent Christ and his Church; to bear witness to him wherever we may be; and, according to the gifts given to us, to carry on Christ's work of reconciliation in the world; and to take our place in the life, worship, and governance of the Church.
It is our duty as Christians to follow Christ; to come together week by week for corporate worship; and to work, pray, and give for the spread of the kingdom of God.
