The Epiphany Church of Forestville, Md., was founded by The Rev. Henry J. Kersha, in 1862. He was the Rector of Trinity Church, Upper Marlboro, Md. , and is buried in the Cemetery there. In 1864, a small wooden building was erected, and the first confirmation service was held in November, 1869. The Chapel became Epiphany Church , an independent Parish, in 1871, but it took on the Addison Chapel at Seat Pleasant, Md. Addison Chapel became a Diocesan Mission in 1902, leaving Epiphany Church alone. In 1873, four acres of land were purchased on the west side and the rear of the Church, and the Rectory was built.
