St. James United Methodist Church
in Merrimack, NH
welcomes all who wish to unite with us to celebrate our Christian faith
and our salvation in Jesus Christ. Our church was founded on
the principle expressed in James 2:17 " ... faith by itself, if it is
not accompanied by action, is dead" (NIV). Hence the name St. James
United Methodist Church.
Come Join Us
We are an open, welcoming congregation, and we invite you to come and
worship with us. Whether you are new to the community, or have lived
here for many years, we look forward to having you attend worship and to
meet and greet you afterwards. Each Sunday after worship
service, there is a time of fellowship in the Fellowship Hall where we
enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy each other’s company, sharing our
Christian community and our lives together.
Anyone wishing to unite with our congregation should contact the Pastor
at 603-424-7459
Statement of Our Mission and Purpose
It is St. James mission to help people of
all ages, origins, and backgrounds grow in the knowledge and love of
God; to nurture them through worship, education, and opportunities for
service; to assist them in times of crisis and sorrow; to share in the
joys and celebrations of life; and to enable them to make moral
decisions.
