Big Bend Episcopal Mission

Share a story

St. James was built 1909.  It is a simple, small church with seating for about 100.  There is an organ and piano in the church.  There is seating for a small choir.  The stained glass windows make a very pleasant place to worship.  There is a Parish hall next door to the church.  It contains one large meeting room and 2 small rooms.  One small room  is used for Godly Play and the other is used for Centering Prayer and as a library. The larger meeting room is large enough for recptions, pot lucks and meetings.  The kitchen is superb and there is room for many workers.  There is outside seating in the front of the Parish Hall and a garden area in the rear.

Santa Inez - Terlingua  Is a small quaint church set on a hill.  There are no restrooms, running water, heating or a/c.  The church is very simple but very welcoming.

Saints Mary  & Joseph  - Lajitias  A beautiful small chapel that is seated in a lovely resort area.
