The St. James church was organized
by Rev. William Davis on April 9, 1865. A small church was built
and served the congregation until 1893. A new church was completed
in May of 1893 under the leadership of Rev. A.H. Banks.
In 1918, the Louisiana Annual
Conference met in New Iberia with St. James serving as the host church.
The pastor at that time was Rev. Henry Taylor.
In the late 1960s, a truck ran
into the front of the church creating a lot of damage. That wooden
church was later replaced by the present brick structure. |
