Celebrating 150 Years

In 2025 we celebrated 150 years! St. Paul's called Division Steet in downtown Elgin home until 2009. Like many churches with old buildings, our maintenance costs became more than our budget for ministry and mission. We decided that the future quality of our ministry was more important than a structure or its nostalgia, sold our building and planted new roots here on Plank Road in 2012. In 2017 we made the final payment on our mortgage!


Rooted and grounded in Christ's love and example, we continue to seek meaningful ways to love God and one another by loving neighbor, children, and creation.


We're celebrating our 150th anniversary all year along! Join us for special worship and fellowship events beginning in October 2025 through November 2026.
