ABOUT
ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL
The congregation of St. James is dedicated to the worship and service of Almighty God and to the furtherance of God’s kingdom in this village, this county, and this region of the Michigan Lake Shore area.
We are a small, but vibrant church with a rich history dating back to our original service which was led by Ottawa Chief “Shaw-Be-Co-Ung” in 1858.
Our small year-round congregation consists of folks over 50 but in the summer the pews fill with younger vacationers and snow birds. We enjoy the diversity of our parish-ALL are welcome.
Our annual Chickens for Chairty Dinner is held every August giving our members the opportunity to work together and raise money for local organizations.

The village is rich in tradition-Thursday Night Band Concerts consisting of local musicians, The Annual Homecoming Week and Parade and spectacular firework shows over Lake Michigan. A popular spring to fall event is the Farmers Market held twice a week on the village green.
