Vision Statement

The people of St. James United Church are eternal seekers who value diversity within our congregation, our city and all of society. We affirm each person’s uniqueness and believe that all persons deserve to be valued, treated with equity and respected. We are all children of God, walking many paths of spirituality.
Further, we proudly and publically declare our commitment to practice radical hospitality and strive in every way to provide a safe and supportive place for all persons to participate in the worship and work of our church. Guided by the teachings of Jesus, we embrace all persons, regardless of creed, race, age, ability, economic status, cultural and ethnic background, gender identity and sexual orientation or any other difference that has lead to marginalization or oppression.
We are committed to being an Affirming Ministry. We realize that this is a learning and growing experience and ask for God’s guidance as we travel this road.
