St. James is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and is located one block off the square in historic Gettysburg, PA. We are a diverse community of families and singles, older adults and children, and everyone in-between! On a given weekend, about 400 people come together for worship at one of our four vibrant worship services.
The greater community of Gettysburg knows us especially for our music, our youth programs, and our outreach. We invite you to come and see!
