On the first Sunday of January 1990 St Alban's began with evening prayer at Lee and Joyce Schmidt's home. There were 12 individuals at that first meeting. It was determined that there was enough interest in an Episcopal church that a building site needed to be considered. On March 9th, 1996 the first fundraiser was held to benefit the St Albans Building fund. In 1998 the land that the church sits on was purchased and a ground breaking ceremony was held on March 29th, 1998.. On Easter Sunday of 1999 services were held in the partially constructed building. At the time the roof was not yet on the building and at one point there was a short pause in the service until the wine of a jet airplane disappeared into the distance. Service then continued with just the sound of the wind blowing around the building. By September of 1999 the roof was on and the alter was being erected. By Christmas of 1999 the building was complete except for the pews. It took a couple of years, and numerous fund raising projects to raise the funds to purchase the pews.
Today St Alban's is continuing to grow and we will soon be needing to expand further. Through our prayers, hopefully God will provide what we need when the time comes.
