St. James' Episcopal Church

About this church

St. James' Episcopal Church in Houston's Third Ward holds two Holy Eucharist services (Rite II) each Sunday. The 9:00 a.m. service is led with a cantor and choir, and the 11:30 a.m. service is accompanied by a jazz ensemble, so visitors can choose between a more traditional sound and a more contemporary one. The congregation describes itself as rooted in the Episcopal tradition, and its stated mission is bringing people to Christ and helping them to be Christ-like.

Beyond Sunday worship, the church lists Christian education and Bible study, fellowship events, and ministries for children and youth. Outreach includes the Jubilee Ministry, community health initiatives, education, and advocacy, along with partnerships with other organizations in Houston. The website also has forms and information for baptism, confirmation, weddings, and funerals, plus a prayer request form. Anyone unable to attend in person can follow worship through online services and weekly Facebook Live broadcasts. The church office is at 3129 Southmore Boulevard and can be reached at (713) 526-9571; confirm service times on the website before a first visit.
