The Church and All Saints Chapel

St. James Episcopal Church, as it was known prior to merging with St. Andrew's of 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 and 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. If you would like to reserve this space for your event, please complete this form to make that request. 

​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 Lower Level

The rooms of the Lower Level, below the Parish Hall, are generally under month to month, 6 month, or annual contracts. ​Whether long-term or using the space for the day, each room includes WiFi, heat, and electricity, as well as use of the shared 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 is currently available for long-term contract or one-time events. This 19' x 35' room has been used as a classroom, an office for Tapestry Health, and most recently a physical therapist's office. If you are interested in the Lower Level spaces, please contact our Parish Administrator, for more information.
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 answering service at (413) 773-3925 to alert the person on-call.
