The Reverend Harvey O. Judd, Deacon made his first report to the 37th Diocese of TN Convention in 1868. A small congregation was then formally organized as the Mission of the Incarnation. In 1874, St. Barnabas became a parish and the church building, a frame structure, was consecrated. In 1897, it was replaced with the present larger sandstone edifice, a Gothic Revival design of architect R.H. Hunt. Although repairs and updates have been necessary over the years, the church members realized the history and significance of the building. They preserved and restored the original features of the building. A new roof in 2012 was a restoration of the original slate roof. The interior was restored in 2014 to its original configuration of plaster walls and dark-wood wainscot.
