Welcome to St. Paul’s
An Historic Church for the Modern Soul
St. Paul’s is a vibrant and growing church, and the spiritual home to an inclusive and active congregation. Since 1855, St. Paul’s has served the Benicia community through worship, education, outreach, and Christian fellowship.
We worship in the midst of history—but are not its captive. We’re always finding new ways to embrace our ancient mission to love all people and creation. Our roots in the past and our commitment to the present has made us who we are: an historic church for the modern soul.
We rejoice in all those who come to St. Paul’s for prayer, spiritual growth, and service, whether as visitors, friends, or members.
