St James Episcopal Church

About this church

St. James Episcopal Church in Upper Montclair, New Jersey, holds services of Holy Communion on Sundays at 8:15 a.m. and 10:15 a.m., both following the Book of Common Prayer. The 8:15 service is a quiet celebration of the Holy Eucharist with some music and a sermon, while the 10:15 service includes full readings, a sermon, and choir music and is also available on Zoom. Communion is offered at both services, and all are invited to receive. Coffee hour follows the 10:15 service in the parish hall. Summer hours differ from the rest of the year, and the building is accessible for people with disabilities.

Sunday School and nursery care run alongside the 10:15 service from September through June. Fisher Kids, for grades 3 through 6, meets on the first Monday of the month for games, projects, and a simple supper, and a middle school and high school youth group meets with clergy every other week. Young people can serve as acolytes, readers, and chalice bearers. Adults can join a Women's Bible Study on Wednesday mornings on Zoom from September through May and a Men's Bible Study on Saturday mornings in the Guild Room. The church also supports a food pantry, a thrift shop, and a non-sectarian preschool, and the parish is currently searching for a new rector. Confirm times by calling 973-744-0270.
