Sunday worship is held at 9:00 a.m. in the sanctuary, and the same service is livestreamed, with past services available to watch online.

Check the website to confirm current times.

Weekly faith formation at St. James is built around reading a Bible passage, working through study questions, discussing faith and daily life, praying together, and taking home a question for families to talk over. Confirmation classes serve young people, and weekly Bible studies and faith teams give adults other ways to connect. Fellowship events on the calendar have included a knit and crochet group and game nights. Service projects include a community giveaway, Red Cross blood drives held at the church, an Adopt-a-Highway stretch, and collection of used glasses and hearing aids. The congregation also maintains a partnership with Idunda village in Tanzania, including support for a dispensary there. St. James operates an early education center and preschool on site. For urgent pastoral care, callers can phone the church and press 3 to reach the emergency line.
