St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Williamsville, New
York began as a mission of nearby St. Paul's in Eggertsville
in the 1860's. The present day lot ws purchased with a building
in 1870 from the Society of Disciples of Jesus Christ. The
chapel of that building was renovated in 1885 and removed
from it's foundation in 1900, when a new church building was
built in it's place. The
foundation originally built in 1839 still remains under our
sanctuary to this day. The building was dedicated on October
21, 1900, hence our building centennial in 2000.In 1901, a basement was finished for Sunday School classes to be held in and an organ was purchased for Sunday School usage in 1909. Then in 1910, a pipe organ was installed in the sanctuary for under $1000. The
first unit of the brick Sunday School area was added in 1949.
An addition to the Sunday School area in 1953 included
four classrooms, a kitchenette, furnace room, and a lavatory.
Our pipe organ was enlarged and electrified in 1955,
along with the installation of stained glass windows in the
sanctuary. A third addition to our Sunday school was completed
in 1956. Renovation, including a new foyer, church office,
choir room, and handicap lift was completed in 1994. |
