Welcome!
Whether you are searching for a new church home from another Christian faith, are new to Baton Rouge and seeking an Episcopal Church, or elsewhere on your faith journey, we invite you to join us in worship and fellowship.
St. James is located in downtown Baton Rouge on Convention at No. Fourth Street. You will appreciate the spiritual atmosphere of our historic English Gothic Revival church. Free parking is available across the street, and our professionally staffed nursery for infants and toddlers is open during the Sunday morning services, should you choose to use it. Read more about St. James here.
Join us for "coffee hour" fellowship in the Parish Hall parlor, following any of the morning services.
You are welcome at St. James.
God's Peace,![]()
The Very Rev. J. Mark Holland,
Rector
