Members of St. James Lutheran Church love to say that "God is up to something here," according to Pastor Andrew Simon. It's a phrase that he believes shows the spirit of unity, love and energy and demonstrates the opportunities for spiritual growth within the growing congregation, whose largest demographic is 18 and under. Pastor Simon leads two services each Sunday, a contemporary, more upbeat service at 9 am that features music by a band, and a more traditional service at 11 am with organ music. Outreach efforts focus on children and families and include an annual trip to Honduras, where congregants typically construct facilities for churches there. The church was founded in 1955.
