Parishioners and children gathered together for Sunday worship at St. James the Less

Welcome · Ashland, Virginia

St. James the Less Episcopal Church

A welcoming, inclusive parish where you'll find community, spiritual growth, and meaningful worship. Come as you are.

Welcome

Come As You Are

At St. James the Less, EVERYONE is welcome. Our joy is in making God’s love tangible to each other, to our community and to the world. We come together regularly at the altar to receive that which strengthens our faith and resolve that it is so. A variety of worship opportunities allow our fellowship to give thanks for blessings great and small.

We gather with others to worship God. We hear the life-rescuing Good News of Jesus Christ, give thanks and praise, and, finally, offer our brokenness to our loving God. We believe as we break bread, we come into communion with God in a profound and life-changing way. It is through the Holy Spirit that we are made one body, the body of Christ sent forth into the world to live the Way of Love.
