Who We Are

St. James is an inclusive, theologically progressive, and ecumenically active congregation that celebrates with a traditional, liturgically–based worship service in a church that overlooks Bellingham Bay. We are fortunate to be surrounded by the bay, mountains, and located near Western Washington University. In 2009, St James celebrated its 120th anniversary and we look forward to many more years of active involvement in our community.
