About St. Jacob




		St. Jacob Lutheran Church has been faithfully providing worship services to Miamisburg since our founding in 1821. Can you believe we are nearing our 13,000th worship service? Did you read about our 178 year old bell? We figure it has been rung over a quarter of a million times! It will ring again this coming Sunday as we have worship services at 10:30 (led by the pipe organ) and noon (led by guitars). St. Jacob is also on the national register of historic places. We are on their website right along with the Paul Laurence Dunbar House and the Wright Brothers Cycle shop! We are listed as “Jacob’s Church”.
