Saint Paul was organized as a congregation in January, 1893. In 1897, the first church building was built. The congregation joined the LCMS in 1909. Saint Paul began using English as a general practice in services in 1955. In 1975, a dual parish agreement was created between Saint Paul (Kulm), and Saint Paul (Monango, North Dakota). The congregation disbanded in 2010.
