Welcome to St. Paul's Episcopal Parish! We've been welcoming people to the Episcopal alternative in faith for more than two hundred years since Henderson was founded. We've used the communications techniques of the time from the start. At first it was just by word of mouth. That's when Henderson founder, Samuel Hopkins, an Episcopalian, conducted worship in his cabin from the Bible and the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer opening his home to his neighbors. Then the first Episcopal priest in Henderson that we know of came in 1806 not only to conduct services but also to start the first school in Henderson. We were well enough organized to be officially recognized as a parish in the 1830's and our present building was built in the 1850's.
