Established in 1846, St. Paul’s in Cleveland Heights is today the largest congregation in the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio. As the church home of approximately 1,150 members, St. Paul’s is a dynamic, diverse and open community of people who come together to seek and know God; care for one another; and serve others, locally and around the world.
As Episcopalians, we are Christians worshipping together according to Anglican Episcopal practices, cherishing both traditional and innovative styles of worship.
Our parish welcomes everyone, whether you are a lifelong Episcopalian, come from another faith, are seeking a new spiritual home, or are just curious about us.
St. Paul’s is a vital resource in the local community. We actively collaborate with other faith-based organizations across the region on social justice issues. We offer our beautiful facilities for use by a wide range of community-based groups. We are engaged as volunteers, locally and around the world, to provide hands-on service and support to people in need.
Our mission is to provide a spiritual home for all to seek, serve, and love God together. We fulfill this mission by celebrating in vibrant worship and joyful music; engaging our hearts and minds in thoughtful, relevant education; caring for each other within our parish; reaching out through service to others locally and globally; and using our gifts to support the ministries of St. Paul’s.
Our History
Inspired by a desire to seek, serve, and love God in innovative ways, forty-five families came together and established St. Paul's Church of the City of Cleveland in 1846.
Our Vestry
