Missions & Outreach

Parishioners in Hurley, Virginia

Missions

Following the example of Jesus Christ, the Missions Ministry of St. James’s seeks to cultivate and sustain relationships with God, our mission partners, and each other.

In 2025, the Missions Committee invested in relationships with our friends in Hurley, VA, and the Episcopal Church in Navajoland.

If you’re interested in joining this continued work and imagining the future of mission, or leading a future experience, please contact Missions Committee Chair, Marisa Trible.

Parishioners volunteering at Peter Paul

Outreach

Each year, we disperse several grants to community partners that do amazing work throughout the Richmond area. We maintain ongoing relationships with these organizations, many of which provide individual volunteer opportunities.

Grants are predominantly funded through our annual Mardi Gras Fundraiser. If you are interested in getting involved or would like more information, please contact our Associate Rector, The Rev. Blake Singer.
