Cities Church is a historic church building in St. Paul, Minnesota, United States. Completed in 1913 as St. Paul's-on-the-Hill Episcopal Church, the Gothic Revival building is a contributing property to the West Summit Avenue Historic District. After the Episcopal congregation dwindled, the church was closed in 2015 and the building was sold. In 2020, Cities Church, a Baptist congregation, purchased the building. - Source: Wikipedia
