Youth Ministries

The Youth Ministry at St. James is a vibrant community of young people committed to fostering Christian fellowship. We meet weekly on Sundays to talk about life, faith and community. We believe that the development of a welcoming and non-judgemental community can be a radical force for love and justice. We are currently growing dedicated groups of both junior and senior high students. In the coming year, we will offer outings, service opportunities, a lock-in, and retreats. We welcome you to join us as we continue to grow.
