St. James Episcopal Church, Episcopal church in Lake George, New York, United States

St. James Episcopal Church is a rectangular Gothic Revival stone church built in 1866–1867 in Lake George, New York. It has a high pitched gable roof and an offset square entrance tower topped by a tall octagonal spire. A Tudor Revival parish hall, added in 1909, is attached to the church.

Episcopal worship in Lake George was first brought by British soldiers, with continuous services attested from about 1852, when families gathered at the home of the Rev. Isaac H. Tuttle. The parish was established on August 5, 1855, and worshipped in the old courthouse on Canada Street. A first wooden church went up by 1857 and was blown down in 1866, prompting the present stone church, built 1866–1867 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

The parish name comes from a story about the Rev. Isaac H. Tuttle, who found the nearby scenery reminiscent of James 1:17, "Every good and perfect gift comes down from above." Episcopal worship in the area began with British soldiers and was held in local homes from about 1852 before the parish was formally established on August 5, 1855.

The church stands on Canada Street in Lake George village, within walking distance of the lakefront. The 1867 stone church and the 1909 Tudor Revival parish hall are attached, so visitors approach both from the street side. The offset square tower and octagonal spire make the entrance easy to pick out from the road.

The parish name comes from a verse in the Epistle of James: the Rev. Isaac H. Tuttle chose Saint James because the surrounding scenery reminded him of James 1:17, "Every good and perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of Lights." The dedication thus ties the church to the landscape of Lake George.
