Community Resources

Fulfilling our mission of Serving with Joy means walking alongside our neighbors in their time of need. Whether you are seeking spiritual care through prayer, a hot meal, or essential supplies from our Hygiene Hub, St. James is here to support you. We also have a growing list of local organizations to ensure you have access to resources our community has to offer.

We believe in the power of prayer and the strength we find in carrying one another's burdens. Whether you are celebrating a joy or navigating a difficult season, please share your requests with us so we can join you in prayer and support.

Pastor Dax and our Care Committee are notified immediately, the request is forwarded to our prayer chain, and if indicated, shared with the congregation.

Please submit this Prayer Request Form.

The St. James Free Meal is an opportunity for members of our community to gather and enjoy a free meal on Tuesdays. Please check the Events page for the schedule.

The St. James Hygiene Hub provides common products on the third Tuesday each month during the Free Meal. Please see the Supply List of items generally available. Please check the Events page for the schedule.
