St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Evansville, Indiana)

St. Paul's Episcopal Church is an Episcopal parish church located in Evansville, Indiana, within the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis. The parish was formally organized in 1836 after a missionary visit from Bishop Jackson Kemper. The present-day church building was erected in 1886 on the corner of 1st and Chestnut St. in downtown Evansville to replace the parish's first church built on the same site. Designed by architects James W. Reid & Merritt J. Reid, the English Gothic Revival-style structure was constructed with Bedford limestone and trimmed with Green River limestone. St. Paul's is known for being the home parish of various prominent figures in Evansville's history. It is also known for its community service, including a weekend soup kitchen through Sr. Joanna's Table. The church reported 240 members in 2015 and 221 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported nationally in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $188,000. Average Sunday attendance (ASA) in 2024 was 55 persons, down from a reported 93 in 2019. St. Paul's Episcopal Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 1978, as part of the larger Riverside Historic District in downtown Evansville.
