Serve at Saint James
Corporate worship of our Triune God is central to our life as Christians. Everyone is welcome at Saint James and we encourage all visitors to experience and engage in any of our worship offerings.
Please take a moment to browse the many parts to the worship life of Saint James. Maybe your calling is found in one of these ministries.
Worship is at the heart of all that we are and do as members of the Body of Christ. The truth in which we live and the foundation upon which we build is Jesus Christ; in this knowledge we embrace the future with boundless hope.
See below about information on Acolytes, Altar Guild, Flower Guild, and the Welcome Team.
Acolytes are people aged 12 and above who assist the pastors during worship services as “attendant at the Lord’s Table”. Contact Richard Grimball rgrimball@saint-james.org for more information on training and scheduling!
The Altar Guild serves by setting up the altar and the credence table for Holy Communion. They also put the appropriate hangings are on the altar, fill all the candles, and the proper elements are prepared. After the service, the teams take down the altar and wash all the vessels and put them away. The altar guild is also responsible for assisting in weddings and baptisms, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas needs. We will work with you and train you as we serve together!

The Flower Guild is a formed group of women who make the flower arrangement for the altar in the church every Sunday. They also serve by decorating the church for Advent, Christmas, Palm Sunday, and Easter. We provide altar arrangements for funerals and for memorials when requested. We welcome newcomers to our team as we create together to add to the beauty of our worship services. Contact the office, email@saint-james.org, for more information.
