Membership
St. James’ congregation is primarily drawn from a wide area outside its immediate community.
Less than 10 percent are located within three miles of the church, while almost 60 percent reside within five to 15 miles, and 13 percent are at a distance of 15 or more miles.
While not affluent, the average household income is between $80,000 and $90,000 per year.
The present membership of 510 has increased during the last three years at an average of more than 30 members per year.
New parishioners say they are attracted by the vitality and diversity of the congregation and, among other things, the emphasis on community and outreach.
