The church had its origins in a mission station established by the Rev. J. L.Gay in 1844.

On May 10,1872 the mission was formally accepted in the diocese of Alabama as GraceChurch. Construction of a church building began in 1875 on a lot owned by General

Henry DeLamar Clayton and his wife Victoria. The Gothic Revival style building was

completed on February 26, 1876 at which time the lot was deeded by the Claytons

to the Protestant Episcopal Church of the State of Alabama. Bishop Richard J. Wilmer

formally consecrated the church on November 14, 1876. The mission and church

have been served by the Rev's. Thomas J. Bland, DeBerniere Waddell, E.W. Spalding,

as well as others.
