St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is an Atlanta parish with a mission to proclaim God’s love, justice, and hope through resilient faith in Jesus and Episcopal worship. Organized from a Black Sunday school in 1880, it is the oldest Black Episcopal church in Georgia. The congregation rebuilt after the 1917 Atlanta fire destroyed its church and records, combined with St. Matthias in 1929, and dedicated its present Peyton Road home in 1969. Its current homepage invites visitors to Sunday worship at 10 a.m. with livestream links on Facebook and YouTube.

The parish describes church as warmth, laughter, dynamic worship, and a place where all are welcome; its site also identifies the community as LGBTQIA+ affirming. Outreach makes that welcome concrete. A pantry run with Emmaus House serves more than 200 families monthly with produce, protein, and canned food. The parish has led Episcopal fundraising for Atlanta’s Hunger Walk since 2018 and reports raising more than $180,000 over eight years. Holiday partnerships provide clothing, books, toys, and sports equipment to children at two neighborhood schools. One deeper history page retains an older split online and in-person schedule, so visitors should use the homepage’s current 10 a.m. time. Public pages do not specify service length, dress, parking, accessibility, children’s programs, Communion guidance, or livestream delay.
