Holy Cross Anglican Church was founded in February 2004 when Foley Beach, then a priest in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, departed the Episcopal Church in response to the consecration of Gene Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire.

[1] The church plant dedicated its current building at 3836 Oak Grove Road in Loganville in late 2005.

[3] During Holy Cross's early years, it was under the episcopal oversight of Bishop Frank Lyons in the Anglican Church of South America's Diocese of Bolivia.

As the cathedral of the Diocese of the South, Holy Cross hosts diocesan offices and important events like synods and diaconal ordinations.
