Founded in the heart of Fayetteville’s historic African-American district in 1861, St. James United Methodist Church is celebrating a 160th anniversary. To mark the event, congregants created a documentary, produced by Fayetteville videographer John Erwin, chronicling the church’s remarkable history.
