We’re Ready To Welcome!
This Saturday, September 16 our Doors will be Open to the public! A visit will make one realize why St. Paul’s Church has existed since 1876.
Particular focus will be upon the reredos and it’s intricately carved oak. There within a story is told with great visual effect.
Paintings of our past, an old pew and door from the 1800’s, and more are here to be appreciated by all visitors.
Our Doors Open from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm this Saturday but remain open to all every Sunday and special holidays.

Exciting news! St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Erbsville will be one of the sites opening its doors to the public during the Doors Open Waterloo Region tour. This will be the first time the event has been held since 2019 and takes place on September 16, 2023.
We are 1 of 20 sites chosen for their “gorgeous architecture, local heritage and fascinating people and their stories”.
We have the opportunity to proudly show others what we have created here at St. Paul’s and now need to be sure we’re prepared. Council has been busy behind the scenes and will need your help in the near future.
First meeting is Wednesday, July 5 at 4:00 pm. All members are welcome!

Here’s a description of the event on the Region of Waterloo’s website:
“Doors Open has been a staple event in our Region since 2003. On the third Saturday in September, Waterloo Region opens its doors to curious residents and visitors alike – attendees can tour noteworthy buildings, interesting places and heritage sites in Waterloo Region, many of which are not regularly open to the public.
Doors Open Waterloo Region creates meaningful qualitative experiences, delivered through storytelling, in celebration of our diverse community culture, heritage and architecture.”
