St. Paul’s Lutheran Church began its ministry in 1841 as a union church after local residents, eager to build a conveniently located church for both Lutheran and Reformed members, purchased two acres of land halfway between Fleetwood and Walnuttown.

In 1921 the two congregations moved to St. Paul’s Chapel on the site of the former Fleetwood Post Office, a more convenient site with much needed heating and lighting.

In 1952, with significant building repairs on the horizon, the two churches made the decision to separate, and each built their own facility.  Groundbreaking for St. Paul’s Lutheran Church took place in 1956 on East Arch Street. The building was completed and dedicated in 1957. The Reformed Church merged with the Congregational Christian Churches to form the United Church of Christ and St. Paul’s UCC members moved to their new building on West Arch Street in 1958. 

In 1969 a preschool opened to provide early learning with a Christian focus for little ones in the community and the congregation. In 1970 an office wing was added to the building providing needed space for meetings and administration.

Today,  St. Paul’s Lutheran Church is an active, vibrant congregation committed to building people – developing totally devoted disciples of Jesus Christ through worship, prayer, and service.
