St. James Episcopal Church

Share a story

Our church was  build in 1875 in Weston, Oregon and after not being used for several years was renamed and moved to Milton-Freewater in 1946.  It was placed on a foundation and a parish hall was built behind it.  The parish hall eventually included a kitchen, office, restrooms, and meeting/classrooms which in one room with folding partisions.  The congregation had families with children and a Sunday school for many years but now is mostly older and retired members.  The members work together with fun and fellowship.  The Sunday service at 9 AM is the main focus but the Vestry, which is made up the entire congregation, meets monthly and Bible Study/adult education takes place after the worship services periodically.  There are special services and concerts with donations for outreach.  Our Priest in Charge is part time and we have a retired visiting priest.
