Mission

Historic St. Paul AME Church (HSPAME) In 1820 some members of the Hill Street Methodist Society Church left to rent a brick horse stable located at 251 North Upper Street from a banker named Charles Wilkins. The land was purchase in the amount of $280 and in 1826 built a building that was used to hid the enslaved runaway seeking freedom. The church membership consisted of both the Enslaved and the free Black people of Lexington who were successful entrepreneurs in the community and were able to financially support the UGRR operations. Our mission is to minister to the social, spiritual, and physical development of all people and transform the world through WORD, WORSHIP, WORK, WITNESS & WELCOME.
