St. James Church, Episcopal church in Elmhurst, Queens, New York City, United States.
The white wooden structure at 86-02 Broadway features round-arched windows, a gable roof, and a barrel vaulted ceiling with colonial woodwork.

The church transformation from worship space to community center reflects the evolving needs of the Elmhurst neighborhood through multiple generations.
