It was left in ruin by the Union forces, but eventually rebuilt with assistance from St. Alban's Episcopal Church in New York.

St. Alban’s continues to hold services as an active parish, located in the country on Warriors Trail between Vicksburg and Jackson.

On June 18, 1858, the vestry and congregation voted to erect a church southwest of the train depot in Bovina.

The early years of the American Civil War were felt by St. Albans church as it lost members of its congregation to the military.

On May 17, 1863, Union forces broke the defenses of the Confederates at the Battle of Big Black River Bridge and reached Bovina.

By the fall of 1863, St. Albans church had been completely demolished, except for some glass from the windows and the corner stone.
