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.
The church was the site of protests during the 2026 U.S. immigration enforcement protests, resulting in multiple arrests and charges under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which includes penalties for disrupting worship services.
