The Rev. John A. Deal, the first Episcopal missioner in Macon County, was responsible for founding the Church of the Incarnation as well Saint Agnes Episcopal Church in Franklin, the county seat. Its first building, a Victorian Gothic Revival wood frame building, was built in 1896;[2] it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1] In 2002, a new sanctuary was built on the property and the 1896 building became the chapel.
The Church of the Incarnation is still an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina. The Rev. Bentley Manning is the Rector of the parish.
