St. Andrew's Anglican Church is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth in the Anglican Church in North America. Established as a mission church in 1875, it is the oldest continuous Episcopal/Anglican presence in Fort Worth. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, it played a role in the Anglican realignment in North America. While Bishop Alexander Gregg held the first Episcopal church service on record in Fort Worth in 1860, no parish was established until 1875. Alexander Charles Garrett, the Episcopal Church's missionary bishop of northern Texas, visited his new missionary district and organized the mission under the Rev. Edwin Wickens. Garrett's first services were held in the Tarrant County courthouse on March 17, 1875. Garrett raised funds for the Texas missions from northeastern Episcopalians; a Connecticut clergyman who heard Garrett's pitch during a train ride agreed to commit $500 to the Fort Worth congregation and asked that it be named for Andrew the Apostle. The cornerstone for St. Andrew's Episcopal Church was laid in 1877, and the church gained parish status in 1878. More information...
