A Brief Church History |
|
|
St. James Lutheran Church was formed at the end of World War II, in April of 1945. The following year, a small but passionate group of men and women made a down payment 
on the lot at 110 Phoenetia where the church still stands today, and dedicated a new
building at the Palm Sunday service in April of 1947.
Already by 1950, St. James began development of a garden
and an education building.
"The Garden of Our Lord" is one of only three biblical gardens in the United States,
and continues through today to be a wonderful sanctuary for prayer and meditation.
Weddings and other receptions also are held in this lovely setting.
The education building also continues to have a vital place in the community.
St. James is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and part of the Florida-Bahamas Synod.
