St. Paul Lutheran's founding pastor, Rev. Jacob J. Siegrist began serving the German Lutheran St. Paulus Congregation of Stillwater, Minnesota in 1870.  In 1872, under Rev. Siegrist's leadership, the first church and parsonage were constructed on South Third Street.

To meet the need of a growing congregation, a new build ling was built in 1912, with Rev. A.C. Ernst conducting the dedication services.  Growth continued, and a third church was built at our present day site at 609 South Fifth Street.  The dedication took place in 1952 with Rev. Ernst, now pastor emeritus, participating and Pastor Leonard Ziemer conducting the service.

A new addition to the church was added in 2003 to expand the classrooms, the social hall, the office area, and to create a larger more open gathering area.  The dedication took place with Bishop Peter Rogness participating and Pastor Steve Sampson conducting the service.

At this time, St. Paul Lutheran is in a interim period.  Our current Pastoral staff consists of  Pastor Bill Strom, who is serving as our Senior Interim Pastor, and our newly ordained Associate Pastor, Pastor Jim Weckwerth.
