Directions & Parking
How to Get Here
St. James’s address is 1205 West Franklin Street. We encourage parishioners and guests to park in the St. James’s/Beth Ahabah parking deck across the street from the church. Please be mindful that the surface lot next to the Michaux House is reserved for people with mobility challenges.
Parking Deck
As you head down West Franklin Street towards St. James’s, the sanctuary will be on your right, and the parking deck will be on your left at 1104 West Franklin Street, just before you reach the corner of Ryland Street
The entrance brings you into the first floor. To help newcomers feel at home, we’ve reserved parking spots on the right-hand side when you enter specifically for newcomers. There are four floors for parking and an elevator.
The back door of the parking deck remains closed throughout the week, but will be opened during church services and special events. To exit the deck during the week, slowly drive up to the exit. As you approach, the barrier arm and the garage door will both raise. Please wait for the garage door to fully open before exiting into the alleyway. The barrier lowers 5 seconds after a car exits, and then door lowers 20 seconds after a car exits.
For the safety of your vehicle, please do not tailgate the car in front of you; the barrier arm and the garage door will lower after each car exits.

Additional Parking
We are in the position of having a wonderful problem—a parking garage that is sometimes at capacity on Sunday mornings! To mitigate any barrier to attendance, St. James’s has purchased 40 additional parking spots at One Monument Ave Garage every Sunday through the end of the calendar year.
If you have the luxury of leaving your home a few minutes early on Sunday morning to allow time to walk from One Monument to the church for rehearsal, formation, or worship, we would be so grateful. Ensuring parking spots in the surface lot are available for those who have limited mobility, and the St. James’s garage for those who may be escorting young children, visiting for the first time, or running a few minutes behind, is an act of hospitality. A spirit of generosity and hospitality is much appreciated!
Please note, One Monument closes in the evenings. You may park in any of the spots on the 3rd and 4th floors of the garage. You do not need a parking pass or pay via the QR code stations; simply drive in, park, and leave before 1:30 PM.
