Mission Saint James is a mission established by All Saints Anglican Church (ACNA) dedicated to gospel ministry in the downtown/midtown area of Jackson, Tennessee. Rooted in the Anglican tradition, Mission Saint James longs to love and serve our community in the name of Jesus Christ.  We began gathering for fellowship in October of 2021 and have spent the latter part of 2022 and early 2023 in a season of monthly preview services. We are excited about launching our weekly services on Sunday, April 23, 2023. Mission Saint James invites all who need a spiritual home to join our fellowship, follow our Great Shepherd, and love our community together. 

St. James is also known as James the Just, and it is easy to see why. He is not impressed by claims of faith and knowledge that do not take action to serve the vulnerable, especially widows and orphans (1:27). As the brother of our Lord, James knew what it looked like to love one’s neighbor as himself. He writes about suffering (1:2-3, 12-15; 5:7-12), prayer (1:5-8), humility (1:9-11; 4:13-17), living the Word (1:19-25), bridling the tongue (1:26; 3:1-12), showing partiality (2:1-13), faith in action (2:14-26), wisdom (3:13-18), seeking righteousness (4:1-12), and wealth (5:1-6). These concerns are an antidote to contemporary Christianity in the United States today. St. James Anglican Church will strive to make James’ concerns our own in our approach to worship, discipleship, community, and ministry.

Mission Saint James belongs to the Anglican Church of North America (ANCA) and the Anglican Diocese of the South (ADOTS). We are part of the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON), which is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
