The Church of the Incarnation

According to the church page, it is an episcopal parish of the Diocese of South Florida. On the church’s history page, it says that it started in 1949 through a group of people led by Mr. J. Hartman Taylor. The group would meet with Rt. Rev. Henry I. Louttit to establish an Episcopal mission.

Because of their actions, the first service of the church was held at the Liberty Square Community Center on June 5, 1949. Just a month after its establishment, the mission would be officially named to what it is known today.

Just two years after, the church would have its first sanctuary through the help of the Diocese of South Florida. Over the years, the church would continue to grow its numbers when it comes to its congregation and facilities.

Apart from serving its congregation, the church grew to become an important part of the community, providing services to people in need. It helped establish various community programs and projects such as the COPE School and the Belafonet Tacolcy Center, Inc.
