At St. James Community Church of Alpharetta, we are committed to building a foundation that reflects our mission, values, and the calling God has placed on our church. Governance and polity are the cornerstones of this foundation. Governance is the act of overseeing and directing our church’s vision and operations, while polity provides the structure and principles that guide our community as we serve God and one another.

The Governance & Polity Committee has dedicated itself to facilitating the restructuring of St. James with prayer, discernment, and care. This effort is about more than creating systems; it is about fostering a culture of accountability, excellence, and faithfulness to God’s work through our church. Our team is working diligently to ensure the processes we establish not only meet the needs of today but also prepare us for the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow.

This work includes developing a new Board of Governance to guide our church forward. With your input, we are selecting leaders who embody the values and vision of St. James, ensuring that we remain rooted in Christ as we grow and serve.

We invite you to stay connected as we continue this journey together. Updates and resources will be shared here, providing transparency and opportunities for you to engage in the life of our church.

Thank you for your prayers and partnership as we shape a governance structure that honors God and strengthens our ability to fulfill His mission for St. James. Together, we are building a legacy of faithfulness and hope.

With gratitude,
The Governance & Polity Committee
