Outreach Programs

Connecting with Our Community

A woman reads to a group of children sitting on the floor. One boy is in a wheelchair. They are gathered for a lesson or story time in a classroom setting.

Good News Club

Shares the Gospel with kids through Bible stories, songs, games, and memory verses. Provides a safe, welcoming after-school space for children to learn about Jesus and grow in faith.

  • Meets weekly during the school year.
  • Parents complete a permission form for their child to attend.
  • Volunteers are needed to help lead activities, mentor kids, and support the program.

Homeschool Co-Op

At St. James, we don’t have a homeschool outreach running yet—but we’re praying and planning toward launching a once-a-month homeschool co-op for families. Our vision is to create a space for shared learning, fellowship, and encouragement rooted in Christ. 

If you’d like to be part of the conversation—or notified when we launch—add your name to the interest list.

Love INC Partnership

Love INC Partnership

At St. James, serving our neighbors is part of following Jesus. We partner with Love INC to help local families in need through practical acts of love, prayer, and support.

You can join the work by volunteering your time, offering your skills, or supporting the mission financially. Together, we’re living out “Team Jesus” in action.

Faith • Service • Fun.

Trail Life & American Heritage Girls

At St. James Lutheran Church, Wednesday nights are a vibrant and meaningful time for the whole family! 

Our Trail Life and American Heritage Girls troops meet side by side, creating a dynamic environment where boys and girls can grow in faith, character, and leadership. Through fun activities, mentorship, and community service, children build lasting friendships, develop confidence, and learn to live out their faith in practical ways—all while families come together to support one another in a Christ-centered setting.
