St. James Lutheran Church & School has been a part of the Quincy community since 1851. Convinced that we do not live on bread alone but on every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God, from the year of its founding, St. James has had a grade school. The mission for both our Church & School is, “Seeing Jesus and Causing Him to be Seen” He (Jesus) must increase and we must decrease. (John 3:30) We’d love to have you join us as we “Behold the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Jesus is the one who gives us life in all of its fullness (John 10:10). It doesn’t get any better than that.

Pastor

I started serving at St. James Lutheran Church and School in July 2022.  My wife, Jenn, and three kids, Kati, Elli, and Nate, are excited to be a part of St. James as well.  Before my studies at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis I served in various roles in Indiana, South Dakota, and Missouri including Lutheran school principal, classroom teacher, and NLOMA camp program director.

"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good...to the God of gods...to the Lord of lords, for His steadfast love endures forever." Psalm 136:1-3

They have two sons, Christopher and Will, and two daughters, Nora and Lydia. Johanna our youngest is a nurse and is married to Pastor Justin Bell in Knoxville, Tennessee.
