St James Presbyterian Church

About this church

St. James Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) in Tarzana gathers for worship on Sundays from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the sanctuary on Ventura Boulevard. The service blends contemporary praise and worship, hymns, and global music, played by a mix of professional and amateur musicians on instruments that range from piano and organ to cello, handbells, and guitar. Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month, and dress is whatever feels comfortable. Fellowship and food follow worship, and sermon videos are posted online each Sunday afternoon.

The campus is built for easy visits, with no stairs, reserved parking for first-time guests, assistive listening devices, a staffed nursery, a parent pew, and a cry room. Sunday School for pre-K through 12th grade meets during the 10:30 service after the Children's Message, and a confirmation class is offered to high schoolers in the fall. Vacation Bible School, a Christmas pageant, and a mission week round out the year. Adults can join fellowship groups such as Vine+Branches, which plans social outings, and Mari-Timers, which meets monthly for dinner. Special services include Blessing of the Animals, healing services, hymn sings, and Christmas concerts. The office is open on weekdays; confirm hours and details on the website.
