A WORD OF WELCOME
Welcome to a community of faith, hope, and love.
Welcome to St. Paul United Methodist Church, the only downtown Dallas congregation rooted in African American traditions of worship. Since 1873, God has used this congregation to share grace, build faith, and serve our neighbors, and we would love for you to be part of that story.
We are a warm, multigenerational, multicultural community in the heart of the Dallas Arts District. Our ministries serve the city, our history spans the founding of Dallas's African American community, and our doors are open to you.
