ABOUT OUR MINISTRY
The Outreach Ministry is dedicated to mission projects around the world. The goal of the committee is to divide the budgeted amount in three areas; international, national and local. Depending on catastrophic needs, we usually follow this formula throughout the year. The committee also works to educate the congregation about mission needs, and where the church or the individual can make a difference. It is common for us to do matching funds or support indiviuals or groups in their (ministry) projects.
Every October, the Outrech Committee holds a Chicken & Biscuit Dinner with a mini-Bazaar and Bake Sale to support a particular mission project. The list to the right are some of the projects and organizations that the St. James Outreach Ministry has supported.
We continue to look for new projects and are happy to hear from members of the parish and the community.
"One" Campaign
and the MDGs
One of St. James ministry is learning about and contributing to the "The One Campaign" and the Millennium Development Goals. In 2000, leaders from the US and 190 other nations came together to develop a plan to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015. The 8 MDGs were created to help guide this work along. We are nearly half way to the goal date and yet many people have never even heard of the MDGs. They are:
-
To Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger
-
Achieve Universal Primary Education for Children
-
Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
-
Reduce Child Mortality
-
Improve Maternal Health
-
Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases
-
Ensure Environmental Sustainability
-
Create a Global Partnership for Development
Some of our other activities
- Cookie outreach - - care package to our youth in boarding schools, away at colleges and overseas

Fair trade coffee St. James Church uses fair trade coffee. We see this as one step we can take in helping to alleviate poverty in the world by helping these farmers provide financially for their families.
