Building funds for Grace Episcopal Church were raised by members and supporters of the church. The total construction costs were $1,800. A prominent corner lot was selected for its scenic beauty as it had formerly graced the community as a garden. The property was donated by the Orville McKissock family.
Bishop Charles Todd Quintard visited Spring Hill on May 15, 1878 to consecrate the church. Regular services have been held in the church since the 1870s, although the congregation has never had an actual, full-time minister.
