A family rooted in faith, united in love, and called to bring healing and hope to every life we touch.
St. James Healing Church of Christ is a vibrant, Spirit-filled community dedicated to the worship of God, the healing of the broken, and the empowerment of every believer to walk in their God-given purpose. We are more than a church — we are a family.
To glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ — teaching, equipping, and sending believers to bring healing, hope, and the Gospel to our community and beyond.
To be a house of prayer and healing where every person — regardless of background — encounters the transformative power of God's love and leaves forever changed.
Faith, healing, community, integrity, and service. Everything we do flows from these five pillars and our deep commitment to living out the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Born out of divine revelation in 1998, St. James Healing Church of Christ began as a small gathering of faithful believers and has grown into a thriving, multicultural church family touching lives across the globe.
Our beloved church came into existence as a result of divine revelations, visions, and prophecies from God. The four founding members, who previously worshipped at Saint James Community Church (SJCC), collectively received repeated revelations during regular services — each confirming that divine miracles and healings would be performed at a basement apartment on Georgia Avenue. The consistency of these revelations across the same individuals gave them the conviction that God was directly calling them to form a new church.
These prophecies came into fruition on July 24th, 1998, when the first service was held at 14353 Georgia Avenue. The five founding members present at that historic service were: Reverend Philip Robinson, Reverend Teresa A. Momoh, Reverend Yvette T. Robinson, Reverend Hilda Musee, and Reverend Nicolah Alharazim. It was during this time — through the church's sacred season of Taborah, a 13-day period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual renewal observed each August — that the name of the church, its doctrine, and the formation of the inner altar were all divinely revealed.
Shortly after, Reverend Yeama Williams came to visit and, as a result of what she divinely experienced, chose to join the ministry — becoming not only the sixth member, but a very strong pillar of the church. Three months after the church was formed, a divine revelation confirmed that Adama Mansaray, a member of SJCC, was to serve as Church Mother — a role she has held with great devotion.
"Together, we are committed to listen to and implement whatever plan God has instructed us to carry out — taking the word of God into the world, helping others in our community, and continuing to spread the tenets of the scriptures."
Since 1998, God has blessed Saint James Healing Church of Christ in countless ways. Our membership is multicultural, including citizens from around the globe, and the list of lives touched continues to grow.
Several members who joined with terminal illnesses have received permanent healing. Women once labelled barren have conceived and delivered healthy babies, and expectant mothers continue to be blessed.
A 100% high school to university graduation rate. A 90% success rate for board exams. God has blessed our members with Nurse Practitioners, CPAs, RN BSNs, and numerous other degrees and professional achievements.
The unemployed have been blessed with jobs, the emotionally depressed have found peace, unmarried women have found loving partners, and God has blessed several members with purchasing their own homes.
The church currently has thirteen Ministers, one Deacon, six Deaconesses, four Prophetesses, six Elders, seven Cross Bearers, two Evangelists, and a highly devout Church Mother. We are still looking forward to purchasing a permanent place of worship, by the special grace of God.
Reverend Aminata Deen leads St. James Healing Church of Christ with a heart full of compassion and a vision for transformation. Her ministry is marked by a deep commitment to prayer, healing, and the empowerment of every member of the congregation to fulfill their God-given calling.
Reverend Nicolah Alharazim serves alongside our senior pastor with dedication and grace. With a passion for teaching and discipleship, Rev. Alharazim plays a vital role in nurturing the spiritual growth of our congregation and developing the next generation of leaders.
God's word is our number one priority. We are committed to listening to and implementing whatever plan God instructs us to carry out — collectively and individually.
We believe God performs divine miracles and healings, and that His healing power — spirit, soul, and body — is available to all who seek it in faith.
We believe in the power of persistent prayer and actively seek God's direct intervention in every area of life — for our members and our community.
Fasting is a cornerstone of our spiritual life. Through dedicated seasons of fasting, we seek God, pursue restoration, and believe for breakthrough and divine victory.
We believe God still speaks through revelations, visions, and prophecies. Our very foundation was laid through divine instruction, and we continue to honour that gift today.
We are committed to caring for one another, serving our community, and spreading the word of God with responsibility and love — together, as one family.
