Our History

St. James Baptist Church has been blessed by generations of faith, fellowship, service, and devotion to God’s work in Powhatan.

Celebrating 158 Years of God’s Faithfulness

For more than a century and a half, St. James Baptist Church has stood as a place of worship, prayer, teaching, fellowship, and Christian service.

Our history is carried forward by those who came before us, those who serve today, and those who will continue the work strengthened by the Spirit.

“Continuing the Work, Strengthened by the Spirit”

Built on prayer, worship, and trust in God’s guidance through every season.

Strengthened by generations of members gathering as one church family.

Continuing the work of ministry, care, and Christian witness in the community.
