The church (2), built in 1881, is a historic, beautiful example of Neo-Gothic architecture. The Parish Hall (7, 9) is about thirty years old and was recently expanded when the new educational and office buildings (3–6) were built. The youth center (8) was built to replace the African-American Episcopal Church in the early 1960s, but was never consecrated. The congregations were integrated and the building was long used as the parish office.
Accessibility
All of our buildings are handicap-accessible. There are a few designated handicap parking spaces on 9th Street. If these are taken, persons with valid handicap tags are encouraged to use the semicircular drive on 9th which is marked as a no parking area.
Building and Grounds Committee
This committee is headed by the Vestry’s Junior Warden and is supported by a number of dedicated parishioners who are deeply interested in improving and maintaining our parish buildings and grounds in such condition that they reflect our love for the parish and our historic church building.
Labor for the required maintenance effort is provided by an extremely competent Parish Grounds Sexton, Bob Grant, supported by numerous parish volunteers and contracted services. Periodic volunteer “Campus Cleanup Days” are organized to assist in the maintenance of our grounds. To volunteer for this important ministry call Ed Grissom at 491-8163 or e-mail him.
