Welcome to St. Jacob's Lutheran Church

With the increase in traffic on Columbia Avenue, our Church Council recognizes the existing safety issues with our current parking lot and requests the following: The designated entrance to the church parking lot is at the end in front of the Fellowship Hall. When exiting the parking lot, please drive up the driveway in front of the church office and exit from the driveway. Following this pattern will reduce the risk of accidents as traffic approaches the church coming up the hill on Columbia Avenue. Please do not exit the parking lot by simply pulling out onto Columbia Avenue.

As you begin planning for your 2022 tithes and financial gifts, the following list of funds have been approved by Council for any financial gifts. If you make a financial gift to a fund not listed below, a member of the Finance Team will contact you to determine 1) if you would like to choose another account or 2) if you would prefer to have your gift returned.
Please make your financial gifts to one of the accounts listed below:
