Beginning in 1957 the congregation first met at the Log Cabin Women's Clubhouse located on 6th Avenue and at other locations until the present building was constructed. The cornerstone was laid in 1958. The building was completed in 1960. The renowned classical architect, Edward Vason Jones of Albany, designed the structure and donated his work and that of his two highly skilled carpenters to get the project under way. Jones is best known for his work in designing the restoration of the "blue room" in the White House and the State Reception Rooms on the top floor of the State Department Building in Washington, DC. He designed the well-known and beautiful Shackelford House, the Angus Alberson and other palatial homes in Albany, Ga. Not only was he a master architect but also he was a foremost connoisseur and expert on early American antiques. Much of his collection still rests in one room of the Owens-Thomas house in Savannah and in his home on Jackson Street in Albany. The church building is in the Colonial Gothic style in which the church buildings could also serve as town meeting halls. This accounts for the box style instead of the gothic cruciform. Peaked gothic fans over each of the ten foot windows further typify the colonial gothic style. The two acre site on which the church building and its associated Parish Hall (constructed in 1974) was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Julian Lay. John W. (Jack) Duskin chaired the building and fund raising committee. Harold Fletcher, a local builder and founding church member, was contractor and personally supervised the construction. It is said that Jones' design and skilled carpenters who laid out and constructed the initial frame were so exact that there is no unsquare corner in the entire building. Skilled plasterers from Savannah executed the ornate moldings just below the ceiling of the church. Carved acanthus leaves on the interior mahogany door pediments were accomplished by a skilled craftsman from Atlanta. The two plaster medallions over the interior doors are copies of original cast bronzes done by the famous sculptor, Albert Thorwaldsen. The medallions represent dawn and dusk - the Alpha and Omega - beginning and end. Various members and groups have donated many of the church furnishings. The sixteen arm, two tier brass chandelier was given for the most part by Abbie Oliver and dedicated to her and Jack Duskin. The wide floor planks were donated by James G. Raines and taken from an old building on some of his land. Hugh Shackelford of Albany created the landscape design and original plantings. His design work and supervision was also donated. Until a full time priest could be found the church was served by St. Patrick's Church of Albany, whose rector at the time was Fr. Herman Huff who came to Dawson each Sunday to provide services. The first full time priest was Fr. George Johnston. The church currently shares a priest, the Rev. Freeman Cross, with St. Frances Church in Camilla.
