Saint James Evangelical Lutheran Church - (305) 443-0014

St. James is a small church known mostly for its "Garden of Our Lord," a wonderful place for meditation or events. We are a welcoming congregation.

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.
