›› Welcome Friend!

Welcome to St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!  Want to learn more?  Our present ministry is characterized by a commitment to the community, strong leadership, diverse worship formats and a range of programs for children, youth and adults.  We extend an invitation to you to come and visit us if you are in the neighborhood.  

While you are here, check out the rest of our web site for specific information on programs, worship service times, and more.

We are happy you are here and we hope that we can inspire you to get to know more about Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  With all the unsettling events occurring in the world today and things not being what we thought they were, many of us find ourselves searching for something more in our lives.  We invite you to get in touch with Jesus Christ.  He will alleviate your fears and give you the peace and the understanding that you search. 

Yesterday HE helped me,
Today HE did the same,
How long will this continue?
FOREVER, Praise HIS NAME !

"Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God." - Martin Luther
