Living Our Faith

Our patron saint, James, reminds us to be doers of the word, and not merely hearers (James 1:22). That means we don't just worship together—we pray, serve, learn, laugh, and sing together. We work to be an authentic presence of God’s love in our city, striving every day to be a haven for healing and wholeness.

Bring your full self. Your vulnerabilities, your pain, your faith, and your hope. All are welcome here.
