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

Faith
The Faith pillar is focused on strengthening our relationship with God, and encouraging us to take up our crosses and follow Christ.
​
Includes events such as Bible studies, monastery visits, spiritual education, choir participation, etc.
