History

St. Paul's Church (the second oldest parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky) began in 1834 in downtown Louisville, and eventually moved to our current location in 1956. Our altar, baptismal font, and St. Paul's window all come from the church building, which fire destroyed in 1894.

Our modern Gothic building now seats 275 in the worship area and includes space for Christian Education, choir rehearsal, nursery, kitchen, library, chapel, Hospitality Center, and administrative offices.

Our extensive grounds also afford space for a Memorial Garden for internment of cremated remains, Labyrinth, Parish Garden with specimen trees having Biblical significance, and baseball diamond.
