Our Mission
Here at St. Paul’s, it is our mission to glorify God through spirit-filled worship, and to minister to the needs of our church and community by developing our talents, resources and spiritual gifts as disciples of Jesus Christ.
If you would like to be a part of this mission, please join us for Sunday worship, volunteer or come out and support one of our many community events.
Our History
The St. Paul’s Congregation was first established in 1865 and the present church building was constructed in 1899. St. Paul’s was formed when the congregations of the Wesleyan and Episcopalian Methodists joined together as part of a nationwide act of union of all four branches of Methodism. Together they built a brick church large enough to accommodate both congregations in the main business area in Petrolia. When the United Church of Canada formed in 1925 this Petrolia church joined the newly formed denomination and the name St. Paul’s United Church was chosen by the congregation.
Through the years our church family has seen increases to our membership through the welcoming of families from recently closed churches; these churches include: Marthaville United Church (1925), St. Andrew’s Brooke and Enniskillen United Church (2006) and Burns-Mooreline United Church (2011).
