The church was one of the first public structures built in the town of Berkeley, an early suburb of Denver that became part of the city of Denver at the turn of the century. The tower overlooks the surrounding residential neighborhood and its presence is important to demonstrate the history of the development of this section of Denver. The congregation started as Sunday school by a woman in her home at W. 43rd Ave. and Fenton St. A financial and membership campaign staged in the community by Rev. Eugene Brooks of Highland Christian Church resulted in the construction of the church building on the corner of Xavier and 43rd Streets in 1890. F.M. Schooley, a parishioner of the church, drew plans for and supervised construction of the gothic revival church building. The edifice was dedicated in 1891. In 1929 the church had a membership of 300.

After changing hands several times, the non-denominational Church of the Resurrection has occupied the space since 1996; they are a Modified Eastern-Rite Divine Liturgy. They share the church with the congregation of the Parish of St. Philomena, a traditional (Pre-Vatican II) Old Roman Catholic Mass. Our Lady of Help Church currently uses the addition space for their school.
