Today’s Message: “Tuning Our Hearts to God’s Presence“
In a world filled with noise, distractions, and constant motion, it’s easy to tune out the One voice that brings peace, clarity, and hope. Pastor shares how God meets us in the quiet moments, in scripture, in song, and even in the ways we find ourselves helping others.
This message invites us to pause, breathe, and listen. God is near. He desires conversation with us. And even when life feels loud, His presence is steady, gentle, and always here.
Today’s Message: “Even in the darkest valleys, God walks with us“
Today’s reflection draws from Psalm 119 and Psalm 23 — reminding us that God’s Word is a light to our path, and His presence never leaves us, even when life feels heavy or uncertain. We all have moments when we cry out, “Why me? Why him? Why her?” But even in those cries, God is near. He’s guiding. He’s comforting. He’s helping us find our way. This message is a gentle call to stay faithful, even when the road is hard. Because God’s light still shines. His love still leads. And He will never let us walk alone.
Today’s Message: “Faith Finds a Way“
Sometimes the miracle is just one bold step away — we just need to see it differently. Faith isn’t always about walking through the front door. Sometimes it’s about stepping back, finding another way, and trusting that God honors the love and persistence of those who believe. The miracle is there. Let’s not be afraid to come at it from a different angle.
We worship in person on Sunday mornings at both our Franklin campus, located just outside of Old Town Bellevue on Franklin Street, as well as our Capehart Campus located in western Bellevue on Capehart Road. We offer a mix of traditional, contemporary as well as blended worship services. We also offer online worship as well. Click on "Worship" for more information and insight.
At St. James, we consider you a part of our community from the start. We know that life is best done in community and want everyone to feel at home here.

Serving is part of who we are at St. James. Both inside and outside of the church. Throughout the year, we provide numerous opportunities to give through our time, talents, and resources.
St. James United Methodist Church makes a difference by creating a community where everyone can know God, grow in faith, and experience genuine belonging.
