st. agatha's has had few full-time priests. the attendance is only around 30-40 people. however, in 2011 members were able to purchase the charles murray home to the south of the church. it served as the vicarage for a short time allowing the former vicarage to be used as the parish hall, church office and classrooms. when that priest retired, the diocese of the central gulf coast established a school for ministry there early in 2017. the home, also a contributing site in the defuniak springs historic district is available for church and community meetings, seminars and retreats since the school for ministry students are present only one long weekend each month. this historic structure also needs repair and a grant has been submitted for this purpose. the church is still a functioning organized mission in the episcopal diocese of the central gulf coast.
