The church was founded in 1879 by Bishop Alexander Garrett as the Cathedral Chapel of the Incarnation. It was originally built on the corner of McKinney and Harwood, to a considerable degree north of Dallas's business and residential community. In 1897 the mission church became a full-fledged parish of the Diocese of Dallas. In 1902 a brick building was dedicated and used as the church for the next twenty-five years. In 1927 the church moved to a new building farther north on McKinney at Cambrick Avenue. Sixteen rectors have served the church since its founding and the modest brick chapel has become a 5-acre (20,000 m2) close serving the Dallas community with a Christian volunteer force of 1,800 households.[1]
The church is one of 74 Episcopal churches and missions in the Diocese of Dallas,[2] which is a member of Province VII[3] of the Episcopal Church of the United States (TEC) and a part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The current rector is the Rev. Dr. Christopher Beeley.[4] It is one of the largest parishes in the diocese.
