In 1854 the Provincial Board of the Moravian Church provided the funds to Amos Miksch to buy a substantial amount of property to create a Moravian settlement.

Gracehill was organized in 1866, and the church building was completed the next year.

The church is a simple rectangular, frame structure that measures 50 by 30 feet (15.2 by 9.1 m).

[2] A two-stage bell tower rises over the main entrance.

Graves in the cemetery were originally laid out with men on the north and women on the south.
