The Mission of Saint James
The Mission of Saint James
St. James exists to proclaim the Gospel of Christ through worship and ministry, welcoming all of God’s children—both within our faith community and beyond our doors—and sharing the love of Christ with all.
In 2011, St. James Episcopal Church of Bradley Beach celebrated its Centennial.
Parishioners and well-wishers can now donate and/or pay their pledges online by clicking on the VANCO tab above.

St. James Receives a Boost for “Luggage for Love” - Thanks to Wall Intermediate School!
On March 11, Wall Intermediate School generously donated 40 pieces of luggage—including suitcases, backpacks, traveling, and duffel bags—each filled with essential accessories, to Luggage for Love, an outreach ministry of St. James, serving foster children through Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
We sincerely thank ECS-NJ for their grant and ongoing support of this meaningful ministry.

Good News....Bradley Beach
St. James in Bradley Beach is alive with ministry! It is almost finished with the Book Depot that houses the SPCK (Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge) organization! When it's done, you'll have to plan to visit and see the holdings. If you know of any seminarian or parish with needs such as books or an alb or stole, please be sure to reach out to Canon James Yarsiah at St. James. In addition to this ministry, they host community groups such as AA regularly and have grown a Luggage for Love Ministry, to foster children of CASA of Monmouth and Ocean Counties!
P-I-C MESSAGE FOR THE JUNE NEWSLETTER
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
As we enter the month of June and begin the summer season, I would like to extend warm congratulations to Charlie and Kathy Morales and Vincent Buonocore, who were recently received into The Episcopal Church by Bishop Sally French. These three wonderful individuals joined our parish family nearly two years ago and have become active members of our congregation, generously sharing their time, talents, and treasure in support of our ministries.
We also celebrate Stuart Solsky, an Episcopalian who recently transferred his membership to our parish and has already become a valued member of our choir. Stuart is also organizing a monthly men's lunch that will be held on the second Sunday of each month.
In addition, we are delighted to have Martha Driver and Tom Rhodes, Mayor Alan Gubitosi, and his wife, Anne, among our parish family. Having joined us some time ago, they continue to enrich our community through their presence and support.
We are grateful that each of these individuals has chosen to join us in worship, fellowship, and service. May their journey with us be filled with spiritual growth, meaningful friendships, and a deepening relationship with Christ. We welcome them with open hearts and look forward to sharing in God's ministry together.
June also brings us into the summer months—a season often associated with vacations, family gatherings, and a change of routine. While these opportunities for rest and renewal are important, I encourage us not to take a vacation from our faith. Summer offers a wonderful opportunity to experience God's presence in new ways: in the beauty of creation, in time spent with loved ones, and through acts of kindness and service. Let us continue to gather faithfully for worship, nurture our spiritual lives through prayer and Scripture, and remain connected to one another as members of Christ's Body.
As many families travel during the summer, I encourage each parishioner to continue their faithful financial support of the parish. If you will be away for an extended period, please consider mailing your pledge to St. James Episcopal Church, 605 Fourth Avenue, Bradley Beach, NJ 07720, or making your contribution online through our website St. James Episcopal Church, by selecting the Vanco giving option and clicking on "Pledge."
As we celebrate the gift of longer days and warmer weather, may we remember the words of the Psalmist: "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24). May this summer be a season of refreshment, gratitude, and renewed commitment to following Jesus Christ.
In Christ’s love, Canon James T. Yarsiah
