The Future Home of St. Paul’s History
Coming soon!
Established in 1817, the village that eventually became Flint was a thriving settlement where logging flourished. In 1839, the Reverend Daniel Brown came to Detroit to shepherd a congregation of worshippers in a small wooden tabernacle, the first Episcopal Church. As Flint blossomed, so did the congregation. Many of Flint’s early influencers were included in St. Paul’s faith community.
Our current building, on Saginaw Street in the heart of downtown Flint, was built in 1872 by renowned gothic church architect Gordon Lloyd. Stones for the new building were brought on sledges drawn over the ice of the Flint River.
From 2015 to 2021, the Reverend Dan Scheid worked with us to realize the dream of God with our wisdom of our past and our imagination for the future. Dan was called in the spring of 2021 to serve at All Saints’ Parish in San Francisco.
In September of 2021, St. Paul’s was blessed with the leadership of Father Don Davidson, serving on an interim basis as the Priest-in-Charge. He guided us as went through the discernment process that led us to a new rector.
Since 2023, Father Thomas Manney has led our worship services as our Rector and Priest-in-Charge.
