Saint James exists to proclaim the gospel of Christ in worship and ministry, seeking to include all of God's children,
both those in our community of faith and those beyond our doors, while offering the love of Christ.
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.
For more than 100 years, Saint James has been a home to parishioners that gather and work together to bring Christ to our community and to the world.
We would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your personal needs or those of your family. Call us to speak by phone, send us an email or make an appointment to come into the office.

CHURCH SCHOOL RESUMED ON SEPTEMBER 8TH!
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 MAY NEWSLETTER
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Grace and peace to you during this joyful Easter season.
As we enter May, the Church invites us to celebrate three significant holy days: Ascension Day - 14th, Pentecost (Whitsunday) - 24th, and Trinity Sunday - 31st.
Ascension Day reminds us that our risen Lord ascended into heaven in glory, entrusting His followers with the mission to share the Gospel with the world.
Pentecost Sunday, often called the birthday of the Church, celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, empowering them—and us—to live boldly in faith, unity, and service.
Trinity Sunday calls us to reflect on the mystery of one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the foundation of our Christian faith and the perfect example of divine love.
As we observe these sacred celebrations, may we renew our commitment to Christ’s mission, open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, and deepen our relationship with the Triune God.
St. James is preparing for the first visit of our Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Sally J. French, on Pentecost Sunday. Our affiliated parishes are excited to have Bishop Sally celebrate and preach, and receive new parishioners of non-Episcopal backgrounds. We encourage all parishioners to please attend worship on May 24th and give our bishop a warm Christian welcome.
May this month be a season of spiritual growth, joyful worship, and faithful service.
Blessings to you and your families.
In Christ’s love, Canon James T. Yarsiah
