We Are. . .
... a growing Episcopal congregation – diverse, inclusive and friendly. The Lord is doing great things here and bringing wonderful people to share in the life of our parish. We are excited about the future He has in store for us.
Our community of faith cares for its members, reaching out in celebration and grief. We are present for and minister to each other. Our fellowship dinners and after service social time offer opportunities for connecting with each other.
We also look outward. Our church actively ministers to the community around St. James’. We have a food pantry, Helping Hands, which provides food for the poor. We have crews delivering Mobile Meals in the area, and we have two teams who provide meals at Volunteer Ministry Center on the first Friday and Saturday of each month.
We are offering programs to nurture spiritual growth with our active Sunday morning Church School, Alpha course on Thursday evenings and special events. For our children and young people, we offer such opportunities as Godly Play, an active and friendly EYC, and an acolyte program. We hope your visit with us will be a blessing. Come and know us better.

Haitian Episcopalians struggle in the present, look to the future | | There may not be a single Episcopal church standing in Port-au-Prince today but that lack of walls and roofs does not mean that the church in the Haitian capital is dead. "As the largest diocese of the Episcopal Church until now, we are physically destroyed but the church is there because the church is the people," Episcopal Diocese of Haiti Bishop Jean Zaché Duracin told Episcopal News Service Feb. 4 | |
