Here is a list of some of several different ministry groups at St. James which aim to reach out to provide mercy and promote justice for our neighbors:

DOORSTEP VOLUNTEERS - Our Doorstep volunteers show God's kindness and mercy by providing lunches to neighbors in need. Volunteers offer bagged lunches containing a cheese sandwich, fruit cup, snack crackers, pudding, and water to unhoused and low-income individuals who visit the church. They also assist with utility bills, offer referrals for rent and clothing, and perform clerical tasks. The volunteers are available Monday through Thursday from 11:30 am to 1 pm, and can be found in the office from 9 am to 4 pm. For more details, please reach out to Pam Strickland at pamstrickland@mac.com.

HELPING HANDS VOLUNTEERS - Our Helping Hands volunteers reach out to individuals and families in the neighborhood facing food insecurity by offering grocery assistance and meals. Delicious meals include dishes like soup, sandwiches, and breakfast casseroles. We usually serve around 20 people each time, along with chips, fruit, and dessert. For more details, please reach out to Stacy Hall, our kitchen chairperson, at srhall54@outlook.com or (865) 556-3153.

VMC MEAL SERVING TEAMS - Our VMC meal serving teams provide and serve hot meals at the Volunteer Ministry Center twice a month. On every second Wednesday, we offer lasagna, salad, bread, and dessert. On every fourth Thursday, we provide Bar-b-q sandwiches, potato salad, beans, and dessert. It's a wonderful experience to meet and help the clients and staff at the Volunteer Ministry Center. St. James provides four volunteers each day, who each spend about an hour to an hour and a half there. Another member of each team picks up the necessary grocery items from Sam's Club and delivers them to the VMC the day before we serve. For more details, please reach out to Patty Chase phowellchase@icloud.com or Nancy Pullen nepullen@gmail.com.

JUSTICE KNOX NETWORK MEMBERS - Our Justice Knox network members join hands with network members from around 20 other faith communities to ensure community leaders are held accountable for promoting justice and fairness. We aim to fulfill God’s commandment of acting justly and creating a more just community in Knoxville. Each fall, St. James Justice Knox team leaders hold House Meetings to listen to concerns from ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. After these meetings, all Justice Knox members gather to identify the most urgent needs to address. We then conduct research and collaborate with community leaders to bring about necessary changes. In May, we host our annual Nehemiah Action Assembly where over 1200 Justice Knox Network Members, friends, and neighbors urge officials to implement these changes. For more details, please reach out to Margaret Bickley mbick7@gmail.com or John Mark Wiggers jwiggers@stjamesknox.org.

ALLIES of KNOXVILLE'S IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS - Our meeting space and support is offered to Allies of Knoxville’s Immigrant Neighbors (AKIN), a Knoxville group that aims to promote conversations about immigrant and refugee issues, improve understanding between these communities and locals, assist immigrants and refugees in their civic engagement, advocate for fair immigration policies, and create a welcoming environment where everyone is valued and respected for their contributions to the community. For more details, please reach out to John Mark Wiggers jwiggers@stjamesknox.org.

PRISON MINISTRY - Our Prison Ministry volunteers offer support, guidance, and hope to incarcerated individuals, aiming to promote personal growth and reduce the likelihood of reoffending. Through spiritual guidance, compassion, and forgiveness, the ministry seeks to help inmates rehabilitate and transform while in prison. Services include mindfulness meditation classes, visits to the maximum security wing, sending books, writing letters, assisting with release plans, and providing greeting cards for inmates to connect with their families. For more information, please reach out to Liz Wiggers at elizabethwiggers@gmail.com.
