St. Paul's has a rich heritage
going back to 1829, when Mrs. Rachel Wetherill began hosting Bible studies
in her kitchen at Mill Grove in Audubon. In 1832, Old Union Church
was completed in Audubon as a house of prayer for all Christians.
Through a series of events, the current church building in Oaks was completed
in 1872, and consecrated in memory of The Rev'd Dr. James May, a former
Rector of the parish. The Rev'd May had died in 1863 from scarlet
fever, which he contracted while providing ministry to Union soldiers in
hospitals in Philadelphia.
Throughout our history,
the outreach and community zeal demonstrated in the early days has remained
as a key aspect of parish life and thought. We continue to seek ways
to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in word and deed. Our greatest
desire is for Him to be glorified as people come to know and love Him as
Savior and Lord and to grow in their faith as His disciples
.
