Episcopal services service in Norwood began in the local Presbyterian Church about 1870. Norwood was a weekend and vacation resort for New Yorkers at the time, and the parish served these visitors throughout much of its history. Official consent to form a church parish was given on October 14, 1878, by Bishop Odenheimer of the Diocese of Newark.[4]
Land for the church was donated Mr. and Mrs. George W Luckey. Construction began in 1876 and was completed in 1877. This building was destroyed by fire on November 6. 1886. Following the original plans, a new building, costing $8,229.69, was completed in 1888. A Carrara marble altar and a Tiffany window depicting the Resurrection were donated by the William H. Oakley family. An organ built by the J.H. & C.S. Odell Organ Builders was donated by the Suydam family.[4]
A parish hall was built in 1930 and an education building in 1969. From 1980 to 1987 the church shared a rector and administrative services with nearby St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Harrington Park.[4]
