Founded as a mission in 1889, this fellowship achieved parish status in 1902 and began raising money to erect the church building. After a public fund drive in 1904, construction started on the Gothic Revival edifice designed by A.O. Watson of Austin. The Rev. Thomas J. Sloan led the first service here on Sept. 24, 1905. The debt was paid in 1913, during the pastorate of the Rev. Custis Fletcher, and the structure was consecrated by the Rt. Rev. George H. Kinsolving, Bishop of Texas.
