St James is a church that is concerned with the well being of the community. They have a tutorial three times a week for middle school students where they serve food and everything is free. They also feed the hungry an all you can eat meal every second Sunday.
They are family oriented with a new baby lounge with rocking chairs, a changing station, and a place for the baby to crawl. For the older children the pastor has a Children’s hour where she provides a mini sermon. The children receive tokens that they save for a store once a year. So cute!
The people there are really friendly and they don’t let you sit alone when you are visiting. Someone will come sit with you and help you follow along with the service which is really sweet.
The pastor is a woman which is amazing in and of itself. Pastor Bussey preaches in more of a teaching way. She doesn’t yell, stomp, and run around. She stands still and delivers the message in a clear and engaging way. Every message I’ve heard has resinated with me. If you are looking for a church home and are in the area come by and check it out. Btw they have Bible Study via conference call. What’s better then studying the Bible in your pjs, while you are cooking dinner, or at the gym. Just genius and convenient!
