ABOUT
ST. PAUL'S
The
Episcopal Church has had a major presence in Grand Forks since the
founding of the city in the 1870s. St. Paul's official beginning
was on January 16, 1880. The church celebrated its 125th anniversary
in 2005. St. Paul's draws its membership from all facets of Grand
Forks and the region, including the University, local businesses,
the medical community and farming.
The
original church building was located in downtown Grand Forks, about
15 blocks north of its present location. It was destroyed by fire
in the late 1940s.
The
sanctuary of the current building was erected in 1949, with a split-level
education wing added later. That wing was destroyed during the flood
of 1997 and demolished to make room for the new parish hall, which
was dedicated to God's service in May 2000.
