St. James Lutheran Church is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We have two Sunday morning worship services at 8:00 A.M. & 10:30 A.M. The first and third Sundays of each month are contemporary worship services while the second and fourth are a traditional style of worship. Church School Hour begins at 9:15 A.M. Several special programs are offered at St. James . . . nursery from 7:45 - 11:45 A.M.; Adult Choir; Bible Studies; Vacation Bible School; Men's & Women's Bible Studies; Leisure Group (55+); Youth Groups; monthly activities; and more. Included in this would be the youth groups that St. James Lutheran Church provides . . . Families with Young Children Group, 5 & 6th Grade Youth, Junior High Youth, and High School. Youth groups meet individually on a monthly basis to discuss various things from how the week went to how they can serve God better. They also plan fun activities. St. James Lutheran Church is located east of Indianapolis, Indiana. Follow I-70 east toward Columbus Ohio. Take Greenfield exit 104 State Road 9 south. Follow State Rd 9 through Greenfield approximately 4 miles. The church is located on the left hand side of the road (east side). MISSION OUTREACH St. James embraces the philosophy of mission, adopted by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which proclaims God's saving Gospel "by reaching out to all people to bring them to Christ and by doing all ministry with a global awareness consistent with the understanding of God as Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier of all." St. James personalizes this philosophy through "Link Our Congregation with a Missionary," as individual members support missionaries with prayer and financial contributions on a 365-day schedule. St. James participates in the life of our community. We support clothing drives, conduct food drives, and have an ongoing collection of food for the Hancock County Food Pantry. Every Thursday members of the congregation deliver meals to Greenfield citizens through the Meals on Wheels program. |
