Our Mission
The St. James Orthodox Church Youth & Young Adults Program strives to create a sense of community and accountability amongst the youth of our church through four pillars: Faith, Fellowship, Service, and Outreach. The goal is that with ongoing spiritual education and acts of charity, we will create a fun environment that is faith-filled and spiritually-enriching for generations to come.
The Pillars

Fellowship
The Fellowship pillar is focused on creating a sense of community amongst the church youth and young adults through inclusive and welcoming social events.
Includes events such as dinners, BBQs, ice cream socials, etc.
Service
The Service pillar is focused on acts of charity and almsgiving through events.
Includes events such as feeding the homeless, supporting nonprofits,volunteering at church, etc.
Outreach
