St. Paul's Episcopal Church

St. Paul's, the only protestant church on the Bass Islands in Lake Erie. Paul’s Church has offered a generous welcome to all Christians, inviting visitors and residents of all traditions to worship together.  Established in 1864, St. Paul's is the oldest congregation on the Bass Islands.  Our mission is to Proclaim the Gospel, Encourage Growth and Welcome all people.  The church, built in 1865, has offered worship services continuously for more than 150 years.  In the summer months the church welcomes cottage owners and visitors who return for the summer season to join the island residents. 

St. Paul’s congregation strives to leave a lasting testament of faith and thanksgiving for future generations.  We celebrate our heritage of worship and service to Jesus Christ through the Eucharist, prayer, personal involvement in parish life and care for others in the community.  St. Paul’s congregation continues to work diligently to fulfill the parish mission: “to welcome all people, encourage Christian growth, and proclaim the Gospel by word and deed.”
