Records of the Episcopal Church parish in Grand Forks.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of Grand Forks, North Dakota, was first organized as a parish January 16, 1880, but it was a parish without a building. Land to build a church was purchased at the corner of North Fifth Street and First Avenue North in Grand Forks the following spring. The first service in the newly constructed church was held June 12, 1881. After World War II the need for a new church building was great. A new site was purchased at Gertrude and South Fifth Street and, on May 28, 1948, an official ground-breaking ceremony was held. The church cornerstone was laid on September 14, 1949, and on September 3, 1950, the first service was held in the new church, though it was still unfinished. In 1980, the church celebrated its centennial. The educational wing of the church was ruined during the 1997 Red River flood and was later replaced. This addition now serves as the fellowship hall.
