St. Andrew's Episcopal Church has a long history in the Houston Heights. Although St. Andrew's was not the first Episcopal Church in the Heights, it was the first to have a church building. Episcopalians began worshiping in the Heights in 1894. Between the 1894 and 1904, divine worship was conducted by Reverend Benjamin Andrew Rogers of Austin. These services were held in the Cooley School building, and the congregation was known as St. Paul's Mission.
