St. Paul German Evangelical Reformed Church in Jamaica was organized in 1873 as a Lutheran congregation. Three years later, in 1876, the church became a part of the Reformed Church in the United States. In 1958, the congregation merged into the First Reformed Church of Jamaica, and the old church building was razed.
