Welcome to St. James!
With nearly two centuries of faithfulness to God's Holy Word and the Sacraments of our Lord Jesus, you'll find St. James a vibrant landmark in Lafayette (175 years!), as well as a community of believers purposed to be a large family that enjoys and celebrates the grace of God.
The parish of St. James teaches and confesses the ancient faith of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church, within the Evangelical Catholic tradition of Lutheranism. The Bible is revered as the inspired and infallible Word of God, and the Liturgy is prized as that by which Jesus' gospel and sacraments are bestowed upon His people for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation.
St. James Lutheran has an outstanding Early Childhood, Hybrid, and K-8 school, promoting Classical Education. With chapel taking place from Tues-Thurs (0815), Bible studies, Youth Group, The Acoylte Order of Saint Vincent, Latin Club, Sewing and Quilting Clubs, sports, and closely following the Liturgical Calendar, there's always something happening at St. James and always a place for you.
