The church is designated California Historical Landmark 767. It was originally organized by the Rev. Charles Caleb Peirce on July 20, 1861, with services in the courthouse. After funds were raised, the cornerstone was laid in June, 1865, and the church was opened in December. In 1976, the church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural and religious significance. It is the oldest continually occupied church building in El Dorado County. The church and parish will celebrate their 150th anniversary in 2011.
