God's Mission at St James, Wooster
St. James' mission is to greet, grow and give in the name of Jesus Christ:
- We greet every person as a child of God.
- We grow in knowledge of God's Word and will in our lives as individuals and as a community.
- We give of ourselves and our resources to God's use to live into the ministry God has given us.
