The Episcopal Church is part of Christ’s Church. It is also part of the Anglican Communion. It arrived on American shores as the Church of England, brought along by the early colonists and settlers. It exists to continue the ministry begun by Jesus Christ.

In the Fall of 1888 some Ironwood women formed the Episcopal Ladies Society. In the Spring of 1889 the people organized the Mission of St. Paul and held services in rented rooms. Later they purchased two lots and moved a building to the present site. On July 7, 1896 the corner stone for the present building was laid. The building was completed the following year and the name changed to the Church of the Transfiguration.

In 1984 Mrs. Linwood I. Noyes donated funds to build a parish hall, which now adjourns the church building. The new hall was dedicated to the memory of Linwood I. Noyes. In accordance with the wishes of Mrs. Noyes, as a part of the parish outreach to the community, the parish hall is made available to various groups. The church is fully handicapped accessible through the parish hall doors.
