About St. Paul UMC
Who we are
A Church Rooted in Muskogee Since 1903
St. Paul United Methodist Church in Muskogee, Oklahoma has been a home for people seeking faith, community, and purpose in Muskogee, Oklahoma since 1903. Over more than a century of ministry, we have walked with generations of families through life’s greatest joys and deepest sorrows. Today we continue that mission as a welcoming, Christ-centered community reaching people for Christ and developing deeply committed Christians.

Our History
More Than a Century of Faith in Muskogee
St. Paul United Methodist Church in Muskogee began in 1903, growing out of the Methodist movement that had taken root in Muskogee in the decades prior. For more than a century we have been part of the fabric of this city — celebrating with our community in times of joy, serving our neighbors in times of need, and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ in every season. Our historic sanctuary, with its soaring arches and brilliant stained glass, stands as a testimony to the faithfulness of those who came before us and our commitment to those who will come after.
