St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is a Morris Plains parish describing itself as welcoming, diverse, and inclusive, with Christian fellowship, personal growth, and community outreach at the center of its mission. Regular worship began on Christmas Day in 1921 under the name Christ Mission Church; the parish became St. Paul’s around 1924, and the present Hillview Avenue church was dedicated in 1928. Its history also includes the first woman ordained a priest in the Diocese of Newark.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m. Most weeks the service is Holy Eucharist, while the third Sunday of each month is a Liturgy of the Word without Eucharist. The homepage also posts dated weekly details naming the officiant or celebrant, making it useful for distinguishing a particular Sunday from the normal pattern. People exploring membership, requesting prayer, or seeking a ministry connection can use the welcome form before visiting. The parish practices faith through Sunday and holy-day worship, Bible study, prayer groups, education, and daily community life, although the selected pages do not publish stable hours for those additional groups. Visitors wanting Communion should avoid assuming every 10:00 gathering includes it and should check whether their date falls on a third Sunday.
