History

At the close of the 19th Century, growing numbers of Scandinavians were drawn to the Berlin area by work opportunities on the Grand Trunk Railroad and in the timber industries along the Androscoggin River. Parented by First Lutheran Church in Portland, Maine, St. Paul was officially organized in 1887. Since the middle of this century, St. Paul has served a community of many backgrounds and has been instrumental in satellite ministries in Lancaster and Conway, NH. The congregation is now challenged by new ministries as the paper industry declines and a state prison opens in the year 2000.
