Outreach
St. James' Ministries
At St. James', our ministries extend from Worship, to Parish, to Inreach, and to Outreach.
The St. James' Outreach Ministry is the Church at work in God’s name, stretching out to meet needs in the wider community.
What we do in the Name of our Lord -- Loving People, Serving People
Our daily lives are filled with the Outreach Ministry, whether or not we have a formal role in the Church. As Christians, we engage in Outreach whenever we answer our baptismal call by serving the needs of others.
Parishes celebrate and support outreach ministry in as many different ways as they have people. While examples such as youth ministry, food banks, and visiting the sick are familiar to many. However, the vast majority of Christian Outreach is provided by parishioners in our daily lives. Work, school, home and community commitments provide endless opportunities to meet the needs of others.
At St. James', we commit to serving our neighbors nationally and internationally. We support Kentucky ministries like All Saints’ Camps for students, and campus ministries at Murray State, Western Kentucky University, and the University of Louisville.
