OUR HISTORY:

• Emmanuel Episcopal is one of the oldest churches in Alexandria . It was founded in the fall of 1859 by Bishop Henry Whipple .

Like many frontier churches, services were held in homes . • The first church building was consecrated in 1875 at the corner of Fifth and Fillmore .

The building was used until the current church building was constructed in 1966 . We invite you to come and worship with us.
