April 27, 1900 - St. Paul Baptist Church was organized when a few people of the Primitive Baptist denomination made the decision to become affiliated with the Missionary Baptist. This group came together and worshipped in a house located on Crockett Street in Charlotte, North Carolina.

1908 to 1915 - During 1908, they purchased a church at 915 East First Street and in 1915, Rev. P. M. Mayfield became the minister of the St. Paul congregation. When he retired, the church membership numbered over 1,000.

July 1950 - Dr. James F. Wertz was called to St. Paul while the church was still located on First Street. Under his leadership, the congregation grew rapidly and plans were made to construct a new church building. Construction began at 515 South McDowell Street in October 1949, and the St. Paul congregation moved into a new church.

1951 - Remembered as the first year the the Sunday morning service of the church began being broadcast live over the radio station WGIV. St. Paul was one of the first churches in Charlotte to have a radio ministry.

1969 - Due to Urban Renewal, the church was forced to find another location. The Allen Street Baptist Church was purchased and became the new home of the congregation.

1970 - Dr. Paul W. Drummond was called as pastor and continued until October 30, 1998. During his tenure, the membership grew to over 2600. The church expanded and renovated additional properties, which included more than twenty lots.

November 1998 - Our present pastor, Dr. Gregory K. Moss, Sr., was called to Saint Paul. He strongly emphasized the need for spiritual revival, member participation and the church becoming more purpose driven. Our unified purpose statement was developed and states, "To convince the unconvinced to be convinced and make disciples". During Dr. Moss' first year at St. Paul, God blessed our church family with 349 new members. Our ministry continues to expand which directly reflects our increasing commitment to becoming better stewards. As in years past, God continues to show Himself mightily through the work and ministry of Saint Paul Baptist Church.
