“Wherever you are in your journey of faith, you are welcome at this table.”
We hear these words at every Eucharist, and we seek to live these words every day in the respect we show for one another. Whoever you are, you are welcome here. There is a place for everyone at the table at St. James’: It is God’s table.
We work to practice a ministry of radical hospitality, in which we are intentionally inclusive, welcoming, respectful, and nurturing.
St. James’ provides a holy, safe place where we can have fruitful conversations about difficult topics; where we support each other in our life in the faith; where we are open to finding new ways to carry out God’s will.
We cherish, affirm, and hold onto our African-American heritage. We rejoice in our diversity and celebrate God in the world with joyful worship, creative expression, and ministry to all in our community. We go forth into the world, rejoicing in the power of the Spirit. Alleluia!
