St. Paul Lutheran is a congregation with history and is affiliated with the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
German and Wendish Lutherans began settling in the Thorndale area in the 1880's and brought with them their deep spiritual and educational hopes and dreams.
Over the decades and from humble beginnings a community of service and devotion has developed.
It is just as important that you are a part of our present day life.
Whether you visit for the day, are a member of another Christian congregation, or are looking for a spiritual family, we want to help you.
We have ministries which can benefit you and your family and which can aid you to be a blessing to others.
Our goal is that the Lord would touch your life and the lives of those you love in order to bring you hope and healing and to give you a sense of service and purpose in his kingdom.
