The Church and All Saints Chapel

St. James Episcopal Church, as it was known prior to merging with St. Andrew's, Turners Falls, in 2017, has provided worship and ministry in Franklin County since 1812. The church is the main worship space for this active congregation. Over the years, it has also served the community as a venue for concerts, rehearsals, weddings, funerals, and even protests/rallies. The church seats up to 200 people in pews.

All Saint's Chapel is also available, and has been used for the purposes listed above, but it is more intimate, seating up to 60 people in pews.

The Green Space

The lawn space and Cloisters on the south and east side of the Church building are open to the public. There are picnic tables to use when the weather is nice. Some groups have met in our public space, either for one-time or ongoing events, and they have made a regular donation to the church, particular when access to the restrooms is needed.

​In May, 2019, the Community Labyrinth Coalition built a labyrinth in the open space which is frequented by members of the community who enjoy walking its meditative path. Local groups have also used its space for their annual events. Read more about the Labyrinth, HERE.

The Parish Hall

The Parish Hall is our largest multipurpose space and hosts community meals, receptions, meetings, dances, worship services, workshops, musical events, theater, and more.

​The hall seats up to 100 people at tables or up to 200 theater style. The 48' x 38' hall is adjacent to a commercial kitchen which is available for use with the hall for an additional cost.  

The Whiteman Room

The Whiteman Room, with its elegant, old world charm, is adjacent to the Cloisters and the green space beyond. It has been used for classes, meetings, concerts, theater performances, rehearsals, receptions, and more. The room seats up to 48 people at tables and up to 60 theater style.

There is a kitchenette, but, for catering a reception or full meal, the kitchen adjacent to the Parish Hall may also be used in conjunction.

The Lower Level

The Lower Level, below the Parish Hall, is generally leased and, until recently, was home to Tapestry Health. ​Spaces in the Lower Level include wireless internet, heat, and electricity, as well as use of kitchenette and restrooms. A recently installed air handler keeps these spaces cool in summer and dry all year. The Lower Level is accessible from the adjacent  parking lot via ramp and lift. Room #1 (about 600 sq. ft.) and Room #5 (about 210 sq. ft.) are currently available and great for offices, small group work, therapy or lessons. If you are interested in leasing Lower Level space, please contact our Parish Administrator.
If you are on campus, and there is an emergent concern after office hours with the space you are using, please leave a message with our staff first at (413) 775-0221, and if staff is unavailable please leave a message with our answering service at (413) 773-3925.
