Advocating, Educating, and Caring for All Human Life
At St. James, we are committed to upholding the sanctity of all human life, recognizing the inherent value of every person from conception to natural death. Guided by the LCMS Life Ministry roadmap, we actively advocate, educate, and care for individuals at every stage of life. In 2025, we are focused on providing education opportunities, offering financial support, and engaging in life-affirming activities that reflect our dedication to protecting and supporting life.
Our Mission: The Life Ministry at St. James embraces the full spectrum of life, encouraging respect and care for all God’s creation. Through advocacy, education, and compassionate outreach, we aim to make a meaningful impact on our community by fostering a culture of life that reflects God’s love.
2025 Goals: As we look ahead to the coming year, we are excited about the following initiatives:
- Education Opportunities: We will provide informative events and seminars to deepen our understanding of the importance of life, from pro-life advocacy to end-of-life care. We aim to engage our congregation and community through workshops, speakers, and resources that educate and inspire action.
- Financial Support: We will explore ways to financially support organizations and individuals that share our mission to protect and support life. Whether it’s supporting local pregnancy resource centers or helping families in need, we will be a resource for those walking through difficult circumstances.
- Life-Affirming Activities and Events: We will actively participate in and promote life-affirming events throughout the year. From March for Life rallies to supporting local charities, we encourage all to join in these vital events and make a visible statement of faith in the value of every life.
