The new congregation continued to use the Court House as a place of worship, and it was not until 1864 that a move to erect a church building was initiated.

Following this were a series of events; the final effort occurring in May 1865 when a three-day fair and bazaar was held, netting $1,200.

At this time, the lot on Coloma Street was purchased and work on the church building begun.

On December 23 of the same year the newspaper reported: “The opening of the new, elegant and beautiful Episcopal Church on Coloma Street will take place this Saturday evening with the annual distribution of books by Rev.

Bishop William Ingraham Kip of San Francisco consecrated the building on April 15, 1866.

The old rectory next to the church was torn down and a new one-story building was erected with classrooms and office space.

On this hill overlooking downtown Placerville, the Church of Our Saviour continues to be the landmark in the area that it has been since it was built.

It is the oldest continually occupied church building in El Dorado County.
