Whether you are searching for a new church home from another Christian faith, or new to Baton Rouge and seeking an Episcopal Church, we invite you to join us in worship and fellowship.

St. James is located in downtown Baton Rouge at Fourth and Convention. You will enjoy the spiritual atmosphere of our historic English Gothic Revival church. Free parking is available across the street. Supervised nursery care is provided.

After Sunday services we encourage you to join us for coffee and hospitality in the Parish Hall.
