It was founded in 1922.
Services began in Lossiemouth in 1889.
The Church was built in 1911 with local stone from nearby Birnie and faced with Hopeman sandstone.
The freestanding stone altar was a gift to the church in 1965, while the wooden pulpit was made at nearby Gordonstoun School.
The modern stained glass widows behind the altar, which show St Margaret of Scotland and St Luke the Evangelist, were made in the glass studios at Pluscarden Abbey near Elgin.
St Margaret's Episcopal Church is located on a small plot facing the main road into Lossiemouth. It was built in 1911 to serve a growing local congregation, who had previously met in temporary accomodation and various rooms in the town. In addition, growing visitors to the town, particularly from England, encouraged the construction of a permanent Episcopal or Anglican church in Lossiemouth, and finiancial contributions from these visitors facilitated the building of St Margaret's. The exterior of the church remains little-altered since construction, but the interior has seen numerous changes and additions.
