The Mission of Saint James
The Mission of Saint James
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.

P-I-C Message for December 2025
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Advent and Christmas are two Church seasons we celebrate this December.
As we move through the holy season of Advent and draw near to the joy of Christmas, we are invited into a time of watching, waiting, and welcoming Christ anew. Advent calls us to slow down, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus—both in the humble manger of Bethlehem and in the quiet places of our own lives today.
Christmas then bursts forth with the good news that God is with us—Emmanuel—bringing light, hope, and peace into the world. In the birth of Christ we see God’s love made visible and discover again that no darkness can overcome the light.
As a reminder, we have a couple of special services and events planned during December: 14th Stewardship Ingathering Sunday (the blessing of pledge cards for 2026) 14th Festival Advent of Lessons and Carols at 2:30 pm 20th Fr. Paul’s Playbill - Broadway for the Holidays 5 at Ocean Community College 21st Christmas Pageant during worship 24th Christmas Eve service at 4:00 pm 25th Christmas Day service at St. Michael’s at
9:00 a.m.
May this Advent deepen our longing for God, and may this Christmas fill us with the joy and wonder of Christ’s presence. Blessings to you and your loved ones in this season of hope, peace, love, and joy!
In Christ’s love,
Canon James T. Yarsiah

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!
