St. Paul's Evangelical Church existed from 1890 to 1927 The Evangelical Church of Peace existed from 1895 to 1927 In 1928 the two churches merged and became Trinity Evangelical Church. The building at the corner of Beech and Prospect, built by St. Paul's, was used. In 1935 the name was changed to Trinity Evangelical and Reformed Church after the Evangelical Synod of North America merged with the Reformed Church of the United States. In 1957 the Evangelical and Reformed Synod and the Congregational Christian Churches merged and became the United Church of Christ. The Scranton church became the Trinity United Church of Christ and remained that until it closed in 2015. When St. Paul's Evangelical Church was organized on August 7, 1889, it met in the old No. 8 school building (shown at the left). It was on the corner of Cedar Avenue and Maple Street.

	At the left is the original configuration of St. Paul's when it was completed at the end of 1890. In the 1930s, after the merger of the two original churches, the building was renovated to it's current configuration (as seen at the top of the page). The parsonage next to the church has been torn down. Above is the Interior of Trinity United Church of Christ as it looked in 1958, showing the pipe organ.
