There was a vision for an Anglican ministry in Grange from its early days. The suburb of Grange began in 1878. A land grant was given for a Church of England in around 1881, with the church being built and dedicated in 1885. The Nave was added in 1901 and the Vestry in 1935. The Parish Hall was built in 1924 with a stage and a room for ministry with children.
The church was named after Saint Agnes, a teenage girl who was martyred under Roman rule around 300AD. In addition to its worship services, the parish has a long history of running an Op Shop and an annual Spring Fair.
From the time of the building of the church at Grange, there began a desire to build a Church of England in Henley Beach. Services were conducted from Easter 1912, and the church was built in 1922, with a Chancel added in 1934. To enhance the life and ministry of the parish, the hall was built in 1962.
The church is named after St Michael, an angel depicted in Scripture as one who protects God’s people. Throughout its history, St Michael’s has had a high value on being present to the local community.
For the sake of the health and growth of Anglican ministry in the area, the two churches combined to form the Parish of Henley and Grange in 2009. There are two Sunday services each week, with the same congregation meeting in Grange on the first and third Sundays of each month, and at Henley Beach on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. In this way, the people of the combined parish stay together, while at the same time maintaining a connection with each locality.
