We are a church and banquet hall located in the center of Payette, ID, about 45 minutes outside the Boise metro area.  Our mission is to help the community by providing sacred space for small group gatherings including low to no-cost retreats for the Episcopal Church.

 

Members of the Diocese of Idaho will help host retreats. In addition, we have continued the prison ministry of years past by hiring and helping former inmates.  They have helped us restore our historic church after they have been released. As part of our mission, we also lease space for event rental to fund our missions.

 

We can accommodate small groups of up to 75 people.  Within a few steps of St James you will find quaint downtown Payette, two community parks, and three major rivers offering scenic recreation.  Ten minutes away from St James, there are many hotels, restaurants, shops and entertainment options.

St James offers a commercial kitchen, a 1000sf banquet hall and an historic neo-gothic chapel.

 

Any donations you would like to offer to support our facility are tax deductible and support the ongoing efforts to preserve our Historic Landmark chapel. We have 501(c)(3) non-profit status.

 

From religious retreats, small group gatherings, bible studies, meditation groups, and community meetings, we offer a unique and beautiful opportunity for your gathering.
