About St. Paul AME
St. Paul AME Church was officially founded on June 4, 1873, when its founding pastor, Reverend Richard James, built a modest wooden church near the edge of the Maria Sanchez Creek. Most of the early church's congregants were formerly enslaved people navigating a new life in freedom. During the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. preached several times at St. Paul. The church was central to nightly marches and played a vital role in the events that helped push Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The church remains active today, continuing its work in worship, service, and civic engagement.
