Ministry at St. Paul's

Pastoral Care & Outreach

 St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will consistently connect with, care for, and welcome our parish family, visitors, newcomers, the community and the world. We will endeavor to live out our Baptismal promises as we: seek to serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbor as ourselves and we will strive for justice and peace among all peoples, respecting the dignity of every human being.
