St. Paul United Church of Christ (Lansing, Mich.) records, 1886-1998 (majority within 1940-1998)

6.3 linear feet — 1 oversize folder

Church in Lansing, Michigan, founded in 1886 and dissolved in 1998. Record group includes the following series: history, membership, property, administration, bulletins and newsletters, women's organizations, Sunday School, and photographs.

The records of St. Paul United Church of Christ in Lansing, MI, consist of 6.2 linear feet and 1 oversize folder. The materials consist of administrative materials, publications, records of historic events, and several bound volumes of historic materials, including the church's constitution, council meeting minutes, meeting minutes and activities of various women's organizations, and photographs. Bound volumes through c.1920 are in German, reflecting the ethnic origins of the church. The records are arranged into eight series: History, Membership, Property, Administration, Bulletins and Newsletters, Women's Organizations, Sunday School, and Photographs. These materials reflect the evolution of the St. Paul's from a small, German church at the end of the 19th century into an urban church at the end of the 20th century. We know from historic accounts by members and from newsletters that a fire in 1978 destroyed some of the church's records, but there does not appear to be any documentation in the collection that details which records were destroyed.
