Warren Kinghorn, MD, ThD is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine and Esther Colliflower Associate Research Professor of the Practice of Pastoral and Moral Theology at Duke Divinity School. He also serves as Co-Director of the Theology, Medicine, and Culture Initiative (TMC), which works with current and future healthcare workers to re-imagine and re-engage contemporary practices of healthcare in light of scripture, Christian tradition and the practices of Christian communities. As part of his work with TMC, Kinghorn directs a program of Christian theological formation designed specifically for mental health practitioners. In his new book, Wayfaring: A Christian Approach to Mental Health Care, Kinghorn draws from his years of caring for patients and training future clinicians to develop a Christian vision of accompanying those facing mental health challenges.

We extend a sincere welcome to you and we hope you will come and find your place at St. James. We have long been an active, working church with parishioners who play a vital role in parish ministries and community life. The range of St. James' ministries is as broad as the interests of its members.

Christian Formation for children endeavors to support and supplement the family's efforts to raise children as followers of Christ. Children's Formation includes Sunday classes as well as seasonal festivals and intergenerational events. Preschool ages 2 to 5 years, and grades 1 through 5 use a lectionary-based curriculum enhanced with art and music. Middle school classes include confirmation preparation and current event issues. Senior high classes engage in weekly Bible study from a young person's perspective.
