St Michael Church began in April 1947 as a mission in the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas. The mission was named The Church of the Good Shepherd and met in the boyhood home of Fred A. Lewis at 2763 Noble Street, Fort Worth, which he donated to the mission for use as a church. Initially there were 14 communicants, which grew to 29 by January 1949. The annual Diocesan Convention of The Episcopal Diocese of Dallas changed the church's name to St Michael's Episcopal Church. The mission continued to grow and became a Parish with 165 communicants by January 1952. Having outgrown their building on Noble Street, St Michael's moved to 3001 Bewley Street in Haltom City, a location better suited for growth. From 1952 to 1962 St. Michael's grew and required additional space to support the communicants and school children. In 1962 St. Michael's and St. Nicholas joined at our current location, 3800 Popplewell Street, Richland Hills. The two parishes remodeled a house to accommodate their needs. It was during this time that plans were drawn up to build a new church facility. Each family pledged about one hundred ($100.00) dollars, and the new church facilities were built. December 1964 saw the new church building dedicated. St. Michael's and St. Nicholas Episcopal Churches continued to worship together.
