OUR History

St. Paul’s Story

Our church’s history dates back to 1836. This was at the time of Circuit Riders and Methodist Societies meeting in homes. Ours was the first Methodist church organized within the then boundaries of Toledo. Monroe Street and Collingwood Churches were organized somewhat earlier, but were outside the city limits.

After meeting in homes for a time, the Society purchased property on Huron Street between Walnut and Locust Streets for $100 and built a small frame meeting house. It is the one at the top on the cover of our bulletin today. By 1850 the congregation had grown to seventy members and felt they needed larger facilities and a better location. They bought a lot at the corner of Madison and Superior for $700. This is where Keybank is located now. A square brick building was built here for about $3,000.
