St. James Episcopal Church is a congregation of the Episcopal Church located at Lake George in Warren County, New York. It is noted for its historic parish church, completed in 1867. The church falls under the Episcopal Diocese of Albany.
Episcopal worship was first brought to the area by British soldiers, but continuous worship is attested from about 1852, when local families would gather at the home of the Rev. Isaac H. Tuttle. The parish was established August 5, 1855, and worship held in the old courthouse on Canada Street. It is dedicated to Saint James, it is said, because Tuttle had been struck by the beauty of the scenery nearby, reminding him of James 1:17: "Every good and perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of Lights." By 1857, the first, wooden church was erected. This church was blown down in 1866, after which the current stone church was commissioned. [2]
