This historic church was built in the Late Gothic Revival style and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Today the church is active member parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky and serves mostly the African American community.

The congregation took the name Church of Our Merciful Saviour in 1873. After an 1890-built building was destroyed in a fire in 1912, the present church was built.
