The Episcopal Church of All Angels is a historic church at 129 W. Michigan in Spearfish, South Dakota. It was built in 1895 and was added to the National Register in 1976. The church is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota.
Before the building of the only Episcopal church in Spearfish, Episcopalian worshippers practiced in their homes. The great-granddaughter of Alexander Hamilton donated money for a church to be built as a tribute to her great-grandfather, although she never visited Spearfish. After the sandstone church was built in 1895, it was damaged on the interior by a fire, and Ms. Hamilton sent money to repair the church. Additionally, Ms. Hamilton sent Christmas gifts to children for Sunday school.[1] The church is still the home of a vibrant congregation that serves Spearfish and the surrounding area through many community outreach programs as well as regular worship. The Episcopal Church of All Angels is served by a rector, The Venerable Rev. J Clay Riley, as well as a deacon, The Reverend Deacon Bonnie Slusher.
