St. Paul's Church

St. Paul’s, Troy, was founded in 1804, the first Episcopal parish in Troy, NY, and the mother church of all other Episcopal parishes in Troy. By 1826, the first church building was deemed inadequate and plans were laid to build a new church which was consecrated in 1828 by the Bishop of New York, The Right Reverend John Henry Hobart. In 1891-1893, under the eye of the chief artisan Mr. J.A. Holzer of the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company,  a major renovation resulted in the interior,  including woodwork, mosaics, communion rail, stenciling as well as stained glass windows, that we see today.  St. Paul’s is considered to be the only totally integrated Tiffany-designed interior in the United States. All but three windows were executed by the Tiffany Studios.

Our purpose is to share Christ's Love by providing for those in need and to serve Christ in all persons. The community of St. Paul's remains focused on the Great Commission to preach the Gospel to all the world, as well as the Great Commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves. To this end, the Mission and Outreach Committee acts as a steering commission to direct the parish in both evangelizing and addressing human needs in the corner of the world in which we have been placed. St. Paul's Missions and Outreach has been involved in a variety of projects and work to support a number of other community and church groups. If you would like to get involved contact us!
