St. James is located in the beautiful Mid-Hudson Valley, in Uptown Kingston, NY. St. James United Methodist Church is a growing, vital congregation made up of a diverse group of people of all ages, from all walks of life.  We celebrate our enormous opportunity to love both those in the church and those outside our walls as Jesus asks us to. We are committed to providing a wide range of opportunities for Christian worship, service to our members, the greater community and the world.

We emphasize the following: working with children, serving and serving alongside our neighbors, inviting others in making a positive difference, and welcoming all who want to worship God.

Some people come here to find a place to help another, some come to find a place to rest from their work and some come to recover or renew.  We recognize that we are one of God’s works-in-progress, seeking to grow in our faith and knowledge; individually and collectively.  We don’t claim to get all things right, but we do try as best as we are each one able- always trusting God’s help most of all.

We hope you’ll visit and let us welcome you in person!
