A Word from Our Pastor

Welcome to Our Family

I'm Pastor Albert Williams, and on behalf of the entire St. James family — you are welcome here. Whether you are searching for faith for the first time or looking for a church home, we believe God brought you to this page for a reason.

St. James is a place where the Word of God is preached without compromise, where people are loved without condition, and where community is built that lasts a lifetime. We are a church full of life, purpose, and heart — and we want to share that with you.

Come as you are. We'll be expecting you.
