I first came as a child. Had a rough few years, yet no one turned their back on me. They prayed, encouraged, loved, discipled, comforted, and yes told me when I was wrong. I met my husband here and raised my children here. Have made lifelong friends. The Word of God is taught, and lived here. We serve each other, our community, and world wide. It is an honor and pleasure to be the church Secretary for the last 10 years and counting. GOD'S presence is truly here.
I was raised there all my life. I had my wedding there. It means the world to me. The pastor there is so amazing I am glad I know him and you all should come and get to know him too. The people there are amazing too. I am glad I have those people in my life and know them for years. There is not enough words I could say about this church to Express how awesome it is. I would like to say thank to all of you!!!!!
This local church is an unconditionally loving family, obedient to Christ, always reaching out in his Name to the community and around the world.
Jamestown C&MA Church is the best church I have ever attended. The spiritual formation I received throughout my childhood and youth was excellent, and the members are like family to me. The congregation is very good about taking care of its members during difficult times, they are proactive in ministry, their biblical/prayer foundation is sound, and they truly exemplify a loving and Christ-like body.
I am 50 years old now, and owe so much to the Godly people at the Jamestown CMA, both past and present. As a wandering, confused teen, JCMA took me into its fold and wrapped its loving arms around me. My youth leaders and youth group friends laid a solid Biblical foundation for Truth and provided me with a glimpse of the perfect love of Jesus. As an adult, all of the pastors who have graced the pulpit of JCMA pumped me full with purposeful teaching, necessary correction, and life-altering direction. The many missionaries who visited our church and the many missionaries who left our church for far-away lands breathed passion and eternal purpose into my life, equipping me to do the same. Though I am unable to attend the church regularly, I still call JCMA my home church. I know they pray for me and my family regularly. What a blessing to be a part of such a giving family.
I love my church! I have been going to church here literally since I was born, although I did attend a few other churches during college. There are plenty of opportunities to serve in all sorts of different roles, and they let you do things even if you're not that good at it. It's a perfect size church; small enough where people actually know and care about each other. My church family has always been there for me when unexpected things happen in life. And when we come to church, we can be real people. It's not like anybody is putting on a show, we're just all there to worship God together like one big family. God is really at the center of it all.
This church and it's attendees have been a haven for me as well as a place to grow in my relationship with the living God!
I grew up here, met my husband here and raised my children here. The church family is loving and caring. They have always been there for me. I have watched our congregation grow and mature and reach out to the community in different ways over the years, from collecting food for the Bread of Life food bank to the Eppehimer Golf tournament to raise funds for different youth programs, to Vacation Bible School to Fall Festivals for the children and their families. We join with other churches to have fellowship and support one another. The teaching from babies on up to adults is grounded in God's Word. I am thankful for all that we do for each other (behind the scenes and publicly). Different folks from the congregation also help with the city wide clean up in May and the community projects that a group of local churches provide. They planted flowers at Persell and Lincoln Schools just recently. Our Pastor joins with other local pastors and pray for each other and our community.
CMA of Jamestown for me has been a haven of peace for the past 16years. Everyone is friendly and committed to praying for each other and those in the local community. Children's ministry is important and of high quality using the latest technology to engage children as they learn about stories in the Bible. Adult teaching is also a goal of this church with weekly teaching in Sunday school, Bible study, and prayer. I have been and continue to be blessed by attending this church.
