Our Music
“Those who sing,” said St. Augustine, “pray twice.” The ancient, African Bishop of Hippo meant that singing adds to our praise and worship of God – that our voices are gifts, with which we can make music to the Lord.

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.

St. Paul’s Family Birthday Dinner
Location: Jay Cooke Hall
The inaugural celebration dinner is slated for Saturday, November 9th, from 4 pm to 7 pm, celebrating the 2024 birthdays of all parishioners. This celebration will be done on a quarterly basis, celebrating birthdays in the previous three months.
Tentative Annual Birthday Celebration Schedule
● March 2025 (January, February, and March)
● June 2025 (April, May, and June)
● September (July, August, and September)
● January 2026 (October, November, and December)
We think it is best to focus on the Coming of Christ in December, so the fall birthdays will be celebrated in January of the next year. In the next few weeks we will collect the birth dates of all parishioners, so that we can make sure that each parishioner is acknowledged and formally invited to the dinner.
