St. Paul's Lutheran Church,
located in Alamance County, is the oldest Lutheran church in the county.
The church is believed to have been originally called "Graves
Church" after the family that donated the land for the church,
and it was originally a union church with the German Reformed. According
to a St. Paul's Lutheran Church history document, although worship
was conducted there as early as 1745, the earliest documented date
for the organization of the church is 1770. In 1800, the German Reformed
members moved to Old Steiners (Stoner's) church and to Der Klapp Kirche
(Brick Church).
