1907; many additions. 615 4th St. (northeast corner of Lewis St.)

Local stonemason Charles Heub used rough-faced, uncoursed local rhyolite from the Santa Fe Quarry for this small chapel with stained glass lancets and a steep gable roof that has become the focus of a well-orchestrated complex of related gabled structures. The nave was constructed in 1906–1907 and the sanctuary added in 1911. A narthex of dark stained wood with a stone west wall provides entry on the south end and defines the style of later additions. A garden-level parish hall connects to the north wall of the Education Wing (1966, G. Cabell Childress), with pointed-arched windows and rhyolite facing.
