About

Historic Episcopal church at 743 Prospect St in La Jolla, CA 92037, serving the coastal community since its founding in 1907. Congregational Church of La Jolla on Cave St shares Prospect's walkable sacred corridor with a progressive UCC tradition one block inland. St. James by-the-Sea occupies one of the Village's most prominent addresses on Prospect Street, with a stone-and-timber sanctuary reflecting early California ecclesiastical architecture and ocean breezes drifting through open windows during Sunday worship. The parish offers weekly Eucharist, a distinguished choral and pipe organ music program, children's chapel, adult formation classes, and active outreach ministries. The columbarium garden provides a serene memorial space steps from the sea. Couples drawn to Prospect's historic sanctuaries compare St. James' stone-and-timber grandeur with the intimate garden setting at Prince Chapel By the Sea on Cuvier St.
