A church is not simply a building, but people.  However, the building is a reflection of those people, both past and present.  The structure itself reflects the history and aspirations of those who built it.  Inside, we see pews, windows, plaques, paintings, hangings, all of the furnishings, donated with love and dedicated to the glory of God.

      In the pages that follow, you will have an opportunity to glimpse something of our history since the original parish church was built on this site in 1876.  From the days of the stagecoach to the 21st century present, Saint James' has been a gathering place where parishioners have welcomed visitors to worship in Christian fellowship, helping to bring the healing message of Christ to the community.  Above all, it is a place where those who have entered its doors have felt the presence of God - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
