MIRACLE SUNDAY

What is Miracle Sunday?

At St. James United Methodist Church, everything we do is rooted in our mission: to know Jesus Christ and make Him known. We live this out through our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness—seeking to make a meaningful impact in our church, our community, and the world.

With more than 3,100 members, St. James is a vibrant and growing congregation. Our ministries are active and far-reaching, touching lives through worship, discipleship, outreach, and care. Our annual operating budget of $3.2 million supports these ongoing ministries—but it does not cover several important areas, including Kids LIFE and Learning Center Ministries, expanded community outreach, and major facility needs.
​
To continue growing in faith and impact, we are stepping forward together in a bold, one-day effort - Miracle Sunday.

On Sunday, April 12, we are trusting God to work through our church family to raise $1,000,000 in a single day.

​These gifts will help us:
  • ​Care for and maintain our facilities
  • ​Expand our outreach and service to others
  • Enhance meaningful worship experiences
  • Reduce existing debt and strengthen our future
​
Miracle Sunday is more than a financial goal—it’s a moment of faith, unity, and possibility. Together, we believe God can do something extraordinary.
​
Below, you’ll find a breakdown of how these funds will be used, along with a look at our most pressing facility and maintenance needs.
how do i give on miracle sunday?
You may give online, send a check to the church with Miracle Sunday in the memo section, or contribute through investment donations.  If you give through investments, please contact Betsy Robb for instructions on how to process the donation.
Does this contribution count towards my pledge?
No.  This is a second mile gift.  If you made a pledge or plan to support the 2026 Annual (operating) Fund, please continue to give as you planned.  
Will this campaign cover all the major maintenance needs of the church?
No, but it will significantly help.  The church has a special fund, Trustees Capital and Memorial Fund. Undesignated Memorials are deposited into this account as well as designated gifts.  These funds are used to pay major maintenance items as funds allow.

Celebrate with us!

Don’t rush off after worship—the celebration is just getting started. Join us in the Christian Life Center immediately following the 11:00 service for a Miracle Sunday Celebration Lunch. Enjoy a delicious catered catfish & chicken meal, connect with friends, and be part of a joyful, church-wide moment you won’t want to miss. Everyone is invited—come celebrate with us!

April 12, immediately following 11:00am service • Christian Life Center
