Our Campus

The land where St. Paul’s is located has

been its home since 1860. In 1928, the

cornerstone was laid for the present

church. Completed in 1929 and dedicated

in 1942, this building remains the chief

tangible treasure of our parish, a Gothic

Revival church of locally quarried stone,

carved oak, and stained glass. Our church is

the center of life at St. Paul’s.

The main building includes a Parish

Hall (located where the church’s 1860s

sanctuary stood), meeting rooms, and

office spaces. It is bridged to the church

by a wing of Sunday School rooms. The

Parish Hall is used for parish meetings,

church social events, and receptions after

weddings and funerals. It is also available

for rent to non-parish groups.
