Historical Note
St. Paul's United Church of Christ was founded in 1925 as St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Riverton, Wyoming. It changed its name to St. Paul's Evangelical and Reformed Church in the 1940s. After the national merger of the Congretational Christian Church and the Evangelical and Reformed Church in 1957, which formed the United Church of Christ, the church became St. Paul's United Church of Christ.
