Our History
Our church is a local gem and a national treasure. Multicultural roots grow deep at St. Paul’s Elkins Park. The oldest church in the Cheltenham area, and one of the most significant Abolitionist and Civil War historic sites in the Delaware Valley, St. Paul’s was started in 1851 and built in the early 1860s by the generous vision of financier and abolitionist, Jay Cooke.
