Presbytery of the James: Your Partner in Faith and Community
Presbytery of the James is a faith-based organization that serves as a connectional body for Presbyterian churches in central Virginia. With over 100 congregations under its umbrella, Presbytery of the James provides support, resources, and guidance to help these churches thrive and grow.
At Presbytery of the James, we believe that faith is not just about individual salvation but also about building strong communities. We are committed to fostering relationships among our member churches and promoting social justice initiatives that reflect our shared values.
One way we do this is by providing educational opportunities for pastors, lay leaders, and members of our congregations. Our workshops cover a wide range of topics such as leadership development, spiritual formation, and social advocacy. We also offer grants to support innovative ministry projects that address pressing needs in our communities.
In addition to these programs, Presbytery of the James offers administrative services such as financial management and property management for member churches. This allows pastors and lay leaders to focus on their core mission without getting bogged down by paperwork or logistical issues.
But perhaps one of the most valuable services we provide is simply being a supportive presence for our member churches. Whether it's through prayerful discernment or practical advice on how to navigate complex issues facing their congregations, Presbytery of the James is always there for those who need us.
