St. James United Methodist Church is a vibrant Methodist church in Bellevue, Nebraska, committed to helping people grow in their faith, serve their neighbors, and experience the love of Jesus Christ. As a United Methodist congregation, we offer traditional and blended worship, Bible studies, children’s and youth ministries, and opportunities to serve both locally and globally. Whether you’re new to the area, stationed at Offutt AFB, or looking for a church home, we invite you to worship with us this Sunday.
Today’s Message: “He Walks Beside Us”
Pastor invites us to walk the road to Emmaus—the quiet, dusty path where two disciples carried heavy hearts, believing Jesus was gone. Yet, as they walked, He was right beside them, listening, teaching, and reminding them that hope was not lost.
We, too, have our own roads to Emmaus—days when grief, confusion, or weariness make it hard to see God’s presence. But this story reminds us that Jesus walks with us every step, even when we don’t recognize Him. His love meets us in our sorrow, His truth opens our eyes, and His grace turns our despair into renewed faith.
It’s a gentle reminder that we are never alone on the journey. Christ is beside us—guiding, comforting, and revealing Himself in ways we may not expect, but always when we need Him most.
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.

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.
