Help Support
St. James
On-the-Glebe
St. James On-the-Glebe was the recipient of the 2021 “Lenten Appeal” of the Anglican Province of America. In this, the money was raised to be able to send a full time Vicar for the first time to St. James to help grow and lead the church. St. James On-the-Glebe was picked to receive this gracious gift (and Fr. Fife as a result of it!) because of all of the incredible potential found here. Having gone for many years without the care of a full time priest, the members of the church were struggling with the upkeep of the historic glebe land and the 1700s Glebehouse. The church has never been afforded the ability to go beyond maintenance and take advantage of the marvelous gift of the glebe property (gifted to them in 2006.) As the church faced an uncertain future, the Lenten Appeal has given the church a final push and opportunity!
We have outgrown the converted “chicken coop” (and yes it used to be an actual chicken coop!) chapel. We are in need of a full size building to support the growth of the church. Our Carriage House Fellowship Hall is also without running water or heat. This is an immediate issue as temperatures begin to drop.
We also plan to start a classical school to serve the educational needs of the children of the parish, as well as the many children in this area whose families want an excellent and explicitly Christian education for them. The glebe has room for and needs to serve the community with a cemetery. We also plan to start a large garden to grow our own food, eating the fruit of the land God has given us, and teaching the students how to care for it.
Your gift to St. James On-the-Glebe directly supports the preservation and handing-down of traditional faith, values, and morality. We stand for a classical Christian worldview of honor, respect, and dignity. The multigenerational congregation here is an example of Christ’s Body actively working together for the preservation and cultivation of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness in a chaotic modern world.
