Christian Education

On your feet now ­ applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into God’s presence.

Psalm 100:1

We just can’t contain our excitement! We want you to know about everything that’s happening in the upcoming months so that you can be a part of it all. Bring your family, Bring your friends. Let the joy fill you, move you, and inspire you.

Reverend Tamalyn Kralman, Minister of Education

Our Christian Education Minister, the Rev. Tamalyn L. Kralman, joined the staff of Saint James Presbyterian in May of 2007. A lifelong advocate for and participant and leader in church, Sunday School, and Vacation Bible School, her love of educational opportunities in the church began early. An ordained pastor in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) she did her undergraduate work at Northwest Christian College and the University of Oregon. She received a Master of Arts in Religious Education from Claremont School of Theology, completing extra coursework for ordination. She has served churches in Washington, Oregon, Montana, and California. Pastor Tam is married to the Rev. Gary A. Shoemaker, pastor of First Christian Church. They are the parents of two grown children, son Zach and daughter Brett. Brett, Zach, and his wife Chelsea live with Tam and Gary, along with 3 dogs and 2 cats. In addition to spending time with her family (2 and 4 legged members), Tam enjoys reading, writing, camping, and, of course, more reading!
