The congregation of St. Cyprian's Episcopal Mission first formed and organized their church in 1893. The group moved around from place to place since they did not have a church of their own to call home. The church started off with just four families among its ranks; services were first held in Witsell's Hall which was located on Spanish Street. Following a brief stay on Spanish Street, the group moved to a location on Treasury Street, then Washington Street, and finally ending up in Odd Fellows Hall.

​

The current location was established in 1899 on Central Avenue, now Martin Luther King, through a donation of land given by Miss Emma White.
