ONE BIG FAMILY

Since its humble beginnings over a century and a half ago, St. Paul A.M.E. has flourished in St. Augustine’s Lincolnville community with ministry endeavors that include fostering community engagement projects, providing assistance to those in need and nurturing youth, young adults, and senior citizens.

The church’s history dates back to 1873, when the Reverend Richard James led a small group of followers into organizing and building the first St. Paul A.M.E. Church structure.

Later, the congregation purchased the lot where the church is currently located, on Martin Luther King Avenue.
