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.


CHURCH GROUPS AND OUTREACH PROJECTS

Groups: Altar Guild, Chancel Guild, music groups, Bible study groups, prayer chain, St. Paul's Youth Group (SPYG), and social/church service groups.

Outreach: Northlands Rescue Mission, Phoenix School, Grand Forks Homes, Refugee Resettlement and area social service organizations, including Community Violence Intervention Center, Third Street Clinic, and the Baby Things Boutique. Outreach has also made significant contributions to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, and made a sizeable donation of goods and money to a diocesan-sponsored medical mission to Guatemala.
