Welcome to St. Paul Lutheran Church!
Organized in 1927, we are the oldest ELCA Lutheran church in Tampa, the "Mother Church" of the eleven others. Our first home was room 303 at the YMCA building in downtown Tampa. Sixty-six people attended the first service in December of 1926. At our seventh service - in January, 1927 - we were formally organized as a church.
After investigating several possible homes (and asking Peter O. Knight to donate a lot on Davis Island!), our church leaders decided to purchase a lot in Seminole Heights at the corner of Wilder and Central in 1930. At the time, this 145' X 275' lot contained a large frame hosue in the middle of an orange grove.
