PHOENIX FLIES 2026 | Tour of St. Paul United Methodist Church

PHOENIX FLIES 2026 | Tour of St. Paul United Methodist Church

Overview

Tour this historic sanctuary and hear the details of the congregation's rich history.

Built in 1906-07, the granite block Neo-Romanesque church was built as the second home to a congregation of over 1,200 members. By 1912, the church had grown to be the largest congregation in Southern Methodism with over 2,200 members. The 1,012-pipe John Brown/M.P. Moller organ -- still in use today -- was brought to Atlanta for the Piedmont Exposition in 1887 before being acquired by the church, and the fabulous "Resurrection" stained glass window was once described as "unsurpassed among Atlanta churches in beauty of message, color, and design." A docent presentation on the history of the building and congregation will be followed by an informal tour of the sanctuary. Easy street parking is available.

  • If the event is full, please sign up for the waiting list. You will be notified if a spot becomes available.
