Our History - over 130 years in the making
St. Paul’s UCC was originally formed as a German Lutheran congregation in 1886. The church building was erected in 1890, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places (as St. Paulus Kirche). According to a document on file with the National Register, “St. Paul’s Church is the oldest remaining church structure in Laramie and is representative of the conservative influences exerted by religious groups in isolated western communities which made significant contributions to a trend toward a permanent well ordered civil minded communities in temporary boom towns.”
The church has since evolved, with a diverse membership and progressive attitude, representative of the UCC. St. Paul’s is an Open and Affirming congregation, meaning that they are fully embracing of all. ‘No Matter Where You Are On Life’s Journey, You Are Welcome Here’, is what the UCC is about, and St. Paul’s fully embraces that. Services are held Sunday mornings at 10:00am, with coffee and discussion after. Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of the month.
