The church itself was establishd in 1760 as the first Anglican chuch in the Danish West Indies. The first building was destroyed by a hurricane. The second building was built of sandstone imported from Bermuda in 1778. The church was enlarged in 1854 to seat 1500. In 1866 a fire burnt the church to the walls. The church was restored in 1868. There are markers in the floor and on the walls. It is open by a volunteer during days that cruise ships are in port.

The cemetery which can be accessed through the church backs up to the general Christensted cemetery - from the church door you can see the Catholic section, the Methodist sections and other portions of the main Christensted cemetery.
