word usage - ___, ___, and I am/are…

What is the proper way of saying: "Jim, John, and I am going to the beach."



Whenever I say "Jim, John, and I are going somewhere", I stumble over "I are going".




Should it be "am" or "are", or should the "I" come first, or should it be "me".



When reading everyday messages, I usually see people write "Me, Jim, and John are going somewhere", avoiding the stumble, but that doesn't seem correct at all.
