About Us

Vision Statement
We belong to Christ.  Our faith in this truth shapes our lives.  Our faith in action is reflected in our priorities and values:

• Worship is central to our life
• We are committed to growing as disciples of Jesus Christ.
• We understand and profess what it means to be Lutheran.
• Our faith - nourished in worship - is expressed as a deep and personal connection with the needs of our community.
• Our ministries are led by a congregation who fully understands that their ministry is a visible sign of God's love in this world.
• Welcoming hospitality and generous stewardship are outward signs of the love we feel for our church home and ministries.

During the previous several years,  the culture and ministries of the St.James community have been refocusing on learning to grow as disciples of Christ and putting our faith into action through service to our community and beyond.  In the previous 12 months, this focus has been strengthened in the leadership of St. James, and church council has begun the process of modifiying documents such as the mission statement and committee/team descriptions to reflect these changes.  These changes were approved by congregational vote at our February 2010 Annual Meeting.
