Our Senior Pastor is Ed McNeill.   You can call him Ed, or Fr. Ed, or anything else you are comfortable with. Ed was ordained in 1986 and has been a Senior Pastor his entire career. In the Anglican Church a Sr. Pastor is usually called a Rector.  Ed is our principle vision caster, leader, and preacher.  He works with our Vestry to discern God's will for St. James.

The work of Ministry is undertaken by our Ministry Teams. If St. James  has an effective Outreach Ministry it is because our Outreach Team has led us effectively.  If our Sunday School is fantastic it is because our Children's Ministry Team is excellent.  Our Ministry Teams rely on the leadership of our Team Leaders. Some of our Ministry Teams have a staff member in addition to a Ministry Team Leader.

Steve Kritzer is our Worship Leader.  Before becoming a Worship Leader Steve enjoyed an extensive and successful career as a singer songwriter.  Steve continues to write and record both Christian and secular music.

Pat Morse is our Parish Administrator.  Pat has worked in high tech for plus 30 years, has been very active in Cursillo, and is loving being part of one of God's Start ups.

We enjoy having a good staff.  But our ministry is not organized around our staff.  Our Ministry Team Leaders, with their teams, make most of the decisions that impact our daily life together.  Small groups are the heartbeat of St. James, and their leaders are vital to our life together. Increasingly we understand ourselves to be an "Ephesians 4:11-13" congregation. The role of our staff is to equip our laity for the work of Ministry.
