Welcome to St. James First Assembly of God!
Our prayer is that this church would never simply be a place we attend, but a family where we encounter the presence of God, discover authentic community, grow deeply in the faith, and invite others to find their purpose in God’s kingdom.
We believe the local church is still the hope of the world because Jesus is building His Church, changing lives, restoring families, and reaching people with the Gospel every single day.
Whether you are looking for a church home or just passing through the area, we would love for you to join us for services! We are easily accessible from Interstate 44, at the St. James 195 Exit. Truckers are welcome with semi parking available on the east parking lot.
