from Father Mike...

You will see our church motto, “Seeking God, Serving Community, Welcoming You!” all over St. James. That’s because all three of those verbs—seeking, serving, and welcoming—are actions at the heart of St. James’ mission. We want to be attentive to all the ways God’s presence is manifested in the world, to be the hands and heart of Christ in helping to minister to others, and to be a place of warmth and welcome to everyone.

If you are looking for a church home, we would love to have you worship with us here at St. James. People do not remain “visitors” or “guests” or “newcomers” very long at St. James. In a short time we will make you feel at home and like a member of the family. Come join us in the essential behaviors God wishes from us in mutual ministry to others: seeking, serving, and welcoming. We look forward to knowing you.

We are located at 806 College Avenue, SW in Lenoir, North Carolina 28645 • (828) 754-37l2
