St. Paul's Church

WELCOME SON WORSHIP

Welcome to St. Paul’s, Worcester Parish.  Although we are proud of our history, we are excited to use contemporary technology to introduce ourselves to the world!  We enjoy  traditional worship in a beautiful church, but also go out into our community to serve our Lord Jesus Christ.  Please take the time to look at all of the information on our website, and if you are in the Ocean City Area to “sun worship”, please join us for some “Son Worship”.

A Brief History of St. Paul’s

St. Paul’s Church was erected in 1825 as a successor to the old St. Martin’s Church, Showell, MD which had been the center of Anglican worship in northern Worcester County since the early 1700’s.

In 1904, during a northeaster, the town of Berlin was ravaged by fire. St. Paul’s was severely damaged with only the 18’ thick walls remaining. Under the direction of The Rev’s William England, the church was rebuilt at a cost of $10,028.02 with a dramatically different look.

ST. PAUL'S BERLIN MISSION

Our Mission is to offer and nourish a relationship with God in Jesus Christ, our Lord, through worship, outreach, fellowship, and study. 

Under the influence of the Oxford Movement, the church took on the appearance it has today. The internal configuration of the church is reminiscent of a Medieval Cathedral with clerestory windows and exposed timber ceiling supports.

The parish remains faithful to the traditional form of doctrine, discipline and worship of the Episcopal Church as embodied in the Book of Common Prayer.Our Mission is to offer and nourish a relationship with God in Jesus Christ, our Lord, through worship, outreach, fellowship, and study.
