Welcome to St. James African Methodist Episcopal Church — a vibrant faith community located in the heart of Harlem, New York. For generations, we have stood as a spiritual home and a beacon of hope, justice, and compassion for our neighborhood and beyond.
We are a church deeply committed to ministering to the spiritual, physical, and social needs of all people. Inspired by the liberating Gospel of Jesus Christ and grounded in the rich legacy of the African Methodist Episcopal tradition, we strive to be a place where every person is seen, known, and valued — regardless of background, circumstance, or identity.
Our ministry is shaped by the belief that faith and action go hand in hand. Through powerful worship and sound biblical teaching we seek to embody Christ’s love in real and tangible ways.
Whether you’re seeking a church home, a deeper relationship with God, or a place to join in transforming the world, we invite you to grow with us — spiritually, emotionally, and communally. There is a place for you here.
