Welcome to St Paul's Elkins Park
An inclusive, multicultural Episcopal church.
All are welcome at the Holy Table in our church. No exceptions.
Our beautiful sanctuary has re-opened for in-person worship! All are asked to wear masks unless they are solo singing or speaking to the congregation. Bread and wine will be individually prepackaged for Holy Eucharist.
Services will also be available live on Zoom, and our Virtual Coffee Hour continues our fellowship afterward. The in-sanctuary congregation will be able to join those on Zoom for Virtual Coffee Hour.

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.
