Serving is an important way in which we at St. James try to live out our vision statement: “Forgiven, and invited to live and love like Jesus.”
There are many ways to serve within St. James and in the surrounding community. If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please contact the church office and we will direct you to the resources you need to meaningfully connect.
St. James Service Opportunities
Worship Leadership
Our time in worship is one of the most valuable ways to serve the congregation. It is when we are all together and our most meaningful opportunity of fellowship and faith.
Youth Volunteers
We strive to be there for our youth in all capacities. It is vital to generate strong faith-bonds with our youth, to show them our commitment and care. We need volunteers throughout the year, in multiple capacities.
Join a Committee
The church is a volunteer-based organization, and while we have a strong staff leadership and presence, our church is still lead by our church members. Consider serving on a committee to help lead our faith and mission.
Community Service
St. James members participate in innumerable ministries which take place in Gettysburg and throughout Adams County. If you are interested in learning more about a particular area of service, we would likely be able to put you in touch with a member who is active there.
Serving the Community and Beyond
St. James also participates in numerous ministries affiliated with Lutheran World Relief (LWR), including the sewing of quilts two times a year. The quilts are shipped around the world to those in need, following natural disaster or violence. There is even a Facebook group for all LWR quilters – click here to join them!
