Welcome to St PAUL's!
Please use the links above to check us out.

St PAUL's was established in 1887 for railway workers of Scottish descent who wanted to attend a Presbyterian church  during the summers. When the town of Banff opened its doors to the public for year round recreation, so did St PAUL's.

The original building is now our Church Hall. In the winter of 1930 it was mounted on a sled and moved  from its location near the Bow River to the present site, and the current sanctuary was added.

We welcome you to pray and worship with us in this historic landmark.

We are honoured to be within the traditional territories for the Niitsitapi from the Blackfoot Confederacy, of whom the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations are part; the Îyârhe Nakoda of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; the Métis Nation of Alberta; and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to enrich the Bow Valley.
