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 AUGUST NEWSLETTER
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
As we continue through the summer season, I hope you have found time for rest, renewal, and the enjoyment of God's many blessings. I have enjoyed my trip to Monrovia, Liberia, and participation in the ordination/consecration of two new Suffragan Bishops in the Episcopal Church of Liberia. Thank you for your continued prayers, support, and commitment to the life of our church.
August is a month of preparation. Before we know it, September will be here, and with it the resumption of many of our regular ministries, programs, and parish activities. As we look ahead to the fall, I invite each of you to prayerfully consider how God is calling you to become more actively involved in the life and mission of our parish.
At this time, we are seeking volunteers to serve in several important ministries:
Lay Eucharistic Ministers to assist in the administration of Holy Communion.
The Altar Guild, whose dedicated members prepare the altar and worship space for our liturgies.
The Acolyte Guild, welcoming children, youth, and adults who are interested in serving at the altar.
The Ushers Guild, which we are organizing to provide a warm welcome, hospitality, and assistance during our worship services.
A volunteer to assist our Treasurer with the financial responsibilities of the parish.
A Chair for our Stewardship Committee to help lead our annual stewardship campaign and encourage faithful giving in support of our shared ministry.
Every ministry is vital to the mission of the Church. Whether you are called to serve at the altar, welcome visitors, assist with parish administration, or help lead our stewardship efforts, your gifts and talents are needed. The Apostle Paul reminds us that "there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit" (1 Corinthians 12:4). Together, we are the Body of Christ, and every member has an important role to play.
May God bless you and your families with a safe, restful, and joyful remainder of the summer.
In Christ’s love, Canon James T. Yarsiah
