St. Paul is about a 10 minute walk from the Virginia Tech Drillfield and a 25 minute drive from Radford University.
“My experience at St. Paul AME Church was truly a blessing and a significant part of my life during my undergrad at Virginia Tech. As a member and musician, I had the opportunity to grow not only in my faith, but also in my love for music and serving others. The people, fellowship, and experiences I shared there created memories that I will always cherish. St. Paul AME Church gave me a place to use my God-given musical gifts while being surrounded by people who encouraged, supported, and inspired me. St. Paul AME is family and nothing but love. I am grateful for the time I spent there and for the lasting impact the church and its members have had on my life.”
