Clothing. You are welcome in any attire, from blue jeans to suits.
At St. Paul’s we have worship in-person at 10:45 a.m. on Sundays and our livestream begins at 11:00 a.m. on YouTube and Facebook. You can watch the service at anytime.
The first fifteen minutes of the in-person service is more traditional with hymns and traditional elements. When the livestream begins at 11 a.m., the service becomes more contemporary.
When you arrive in person, you will be greeted warmly and will receive a welcome gift when you fill out a connect card.
On Facebook, we have an online host that is present while the service is live. You can interact with others who are worshipping online as community.
We have ministries for children and youth throughout the year. Some of our activities include summer camps, family activities: A midweek program on Wednesday, youth group on Sunday evenings, and children’s church during worship. Additionally, is a story time on Thursdays on Facebook. Check out our Family Ministries page for more information.
You can join the church by profession of faith in Jesus and baptism, by moving your membership from another congregation, or by confirmation, restoration or reaffirmation of faith. For more information on joining the church, please contact the pastor.
We have a variety of small groups available, and more are forming all the time. If you are interested in a particular small group, contact the church office for details and contact information of the facilitator.
Children’s church is provided for families. Some parents prefer for their children to stay in worship with them. Other parents get more out of worship if they are not worried about their children being a distraction. Rest assured–your children are welcome in worship. We have children’s church for the parents as well as the children who would get more out of a smaller setting.
We at St. Paul’s see a large component of our faith and discipleship is through serving. If you have a particular ministry you are passionate about, we would love to help you get plugged into service.
