St. James Episcopal Church

St. James Church began on the battlefields of France during World War I when the Reverend Otis Gray brought communion to a soldier and carried him to safety. The two men eventually found themselves in Wichita, KS where they met a group of Episcopalians and founded St. James Episcopal Church. The beautiful stone building where services are held today is the same as when they were first held.

Even more time-tested than our building are our means of worship, with roots dating back to 100 AD. However, we are a thinking church. We believe that God created humans with the ability to think, to ask questions, to doubt, and to disagree. Because of this, we open our doors to anyone and everyone who wishes to learn more about God.

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; all else be nought to me, save that thou art; though my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, they presence my light.
