St. James provides many opportunities for learning, Christian fellowship and service. There are four adults Sunday School classes. Our Christian Life Committee serves as an umbrella for Couples, OAKS (Older Adults in Kinship Service), softball teams, the annual hayrack ride and picnic and a host of other activities.

United Methodist Women emphasize mission ministry through their unit and circle meetings and United Methodist Men meet on the third Saturday each month for breakfast and prayer.

Second Sunday Singles provide fellowship for single persons. There are many Bible study opportunites, scrapbooking and quilting groups and St. James hosts Alcoholics Anonomous each Monday night.

No Church is complete without committees. Program groups include Evangelism, Christian Education, Worship, Outreach, Pastoral Care, Higher Education and Ministry and Library. Administrative committees include the Trustees, Finance, Long Range Planning, Staff Parish Relations, and Endowment and Memorials. Each of these groups reports to our Church Council and the Committee on Lay Leadership seeks to match the needs of these groups with talents of our members. Speak up and let us know what gifts, graces and talents you bring to our Christian Community.

Ministry with children was important to Jesus and is most important at St. James. Sunday School for all grade levels is at 9:45 a.m. Vacation Bible School is a summer highlight and special events involving children occur at Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter. Sharon Buckley became the first employed Director of Christian Education in 2005 and this ministry grows under her leadership.
