Saint Paul's Episcopal Church (Morganton, North Carolina)

It is in the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina and is noted for its ministry to older adults in the Lake James community, especially through a program called "Happy Tuesday".

Saint Paul's was founded in 1906 by Grace Episcopal Church, as a mission to the remote western portion of Burke County.

The school and orphanage stayed open until 1926, when public education was established throughout the county, and as people moved to the area in the effort to build Lake James.

Though initial plans were not to rebuild the church, members displayed their devotion to the parish's survival to the diocese.

This effort, along with a donation of land, allowed Saint Paul's to be rebuilt in its current location.
