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 January 2026
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I wish each of you and your loved ones a happy and blessed New Year, 2026!
We dedicate this issue of the newsletter to Dani Rush, our talented outgoing Parish Secretary, in gratitude for the gifts, dedication, and care she shared with the St. James parish family. Dani will continue to be in our prayers, and we wish her a speedy and full recovery.
Epiphany Light for a New Year!
As we begin 2026, the Church enters the season of Epiphany—a time when the light of Christ is revealed to the world. At St. James, Bradley Beach, Epiphany reminds us that God’s presence is not confined to one place or people but shines for all, guiding us forward in faith and hope.
Like the Magi who followed the star, we step into this New Year trusting that God is already ahead of us, calling us to new possibilities for ministry, deeper relationships, and faithful service in our community. Epiphany challenges us not only to behold the light of Christ but to reflect that light through acts of compassion, justice, and love.
As we journey through 2026 together, may Christ’s light guide our decisions, strengthen our fellowship, and renew our commitment to be a welcoming and faithful presence in Bradley Beach and beyond.
Blessings for a joyful and Spirit-filled New Year 2026!
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!
