St. Paul CME Church

About this church

St. Paul CME Church in Docena gathers for worship every Sunday at 10 a.m., with Sunday School at 9 a.m. for all ages beforehand. The morning service is built around praise, preaching and fellowship, and it is held in person at the church and streamed live on YouTube for anyone who cannot attend. The congregation is part of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, in the 5th Episcopal District, Birmingham Region. It began in 1916 in a Tennessee Coal & Iron company "beanery," a mining-camp dining hall, where a handful of families met to worship.

Midweek Bible Study meets Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. and is virtual only. People can join by Zoom or YouTube, or dial in by phone and listen without a computer. The church also lists a Youth & Young Adult Ministry and a Singles Ministry, and young people take part in worship leadership and community service. First-time visitors will find the church at 400 Circle St, and the site states there is no dress code. Giving is available online through Givelify, by mail to PO Box 98, or during any Sunday service. Questions can go to the church office at 205-675-0040. Confirm current times on the church website before visiting.
