Began in 1846 at Mount Peace, home of Robert Ralston. Today Mount Peace is a cemetery.
The edifice of the church was located at Nicetown Lane (Hunting Park Ave) and Summer Street (Clearfield Street). These grounds were donated by Robert Ralston and were once a part of his Mount Peace Estate.
In 1887, the parish house was built by John Dobson, an East Fall's resident who lived in a house on Westmoreland Street and owned the Dobson Mills with his brother James.
The last buildings to be built as part of the church were erected in 1917.
