Our History
God has been so faithful throughout our past, and we continue to place our confidence and trust in His leading for our future!
1857 - A group of German immigrants founded St. Paul Lutheran Church on the corner of Benton and Jackson in Aurora, IL.
1865 - St. Paul Lutheran School was started.
1970's - The changing neighborhood around the church stymied growth and the church investigated ways to address the needs of the surrounding community and the continuation of the church's ministry.
Late 1980's - A new vision was cast: a multi-site ministry whose purpose was to carry on the current ministry on the east side, the birth of a Lutheran Hispanic mission congregation, and the start of a second location to meet growing needs for ministry on the west side of Aurora.
November 1994 - Sanctuary at 85 S. Constitution Dr. was dedicated. Family Life Center and Education Wing were completed in April 2001.
September 2005 - St. Paul birthed Iglesia Luterana San Pablo and sold the Benton property to this new church.
2007 - Celebrated 150 years of God's faithfulness and loving-kindness!
