St.
Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Uniontown,
Pennsylvania, was organized December 18, 1885.
There were forty-one charter members. Services
began in a rented hall until the building of the new
church was completed in spring of 1887. Because of
the growth in church membership, in 1922, the church
council recommended and approved plans for a new
building. The "Festival of Dedication"
was held May 18, 1924.
The internal life of the congregation has been spiritually
strengthened throughout the years by numerous programs, such as Luther League, Beginner's,
Toddler's and Children's church, Nursery, Cradle Roll,
Vacation Bible School, three English Handbell Choirs,
three Voice choirs, WELCA, Women's Groups, just to name
a few, plus Sunday School classes for all ages. |

The
property of the parish has been increased and improved
since its beginnings, with many major enlargements,
remodelings and additional properties. Luther
Hall, formerly a parsonage, was converted to a parish
hall and church offices.
December, 1969, the church cemetery and Christ Chapel at
Chalk Hill became part of St. Paul's through a merger
with the congregation of Christ Lutheran Church.
Many new improvements have been made in the past years
to St. Paul's including the installation of a new roof,
sand blasting the exterior, additional Sunday School
rooms, replacing all stained glass windows, the air
conditioning of the nave of the church and the addition
of a handicap ramp. Plans are for a new Schantz
pipe organ to be installed in the church in 2002.
With notable spiritual vitality, St. Paul's Evangelical
Lutheran Church is in its second century of her service
and commitment to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. |
