Welcome Visitors

Welcome to the virtual home of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. We are a loving, active, and faith-filled community, made possible by God's grace and the energy and commitment of our members.  We rejoice in all those who come to St. Paul's for worship, spiritual growth and service, whether as visitors, friends, or members.

Our church takes its name from St. Paul, who heard the word of God and was transformed, becoming Christ's apostle and preaching the Word.  Like Paul, we believe the great mission of the church is to make disciples, followers of the Risen Lord.   We seek to do this through:

  1. Worship that touches hearts and minds through word and sacrament for the sake of the kingdom;
  2. Formation that encourages, develops, and supports disciples for ministry in the world;
  3. Service that flows from a clear mission, identifying core ministries in the service of God's people; and
  4. Stewardship, which means contributing to the work of the Church out of a sense of thanksgiving and caring for the resources with which we have been entrusted.

We are a parish of over 2,000 baptized people, blessed with a beautiful house of worship and a powerful sense of our calling to “shine as a light in the world to the glory of God.”  The architectural signature of our church building – the soaring arches of the façade that are repeated throughout the interior design – signify to us a transcendent and holy God and an openness to the world.  If you are being called to explore, deepen and live out your Christian faith as part of the Church, we hope you will find here an open door that draws you in, with all the unique gifts that you bring, and encouragement then to take those gifts into the world to provide for others in the name of Christ.

If you wish to have your name placed on the St. Paul's mailing list, please contact our parish administrator, Morgan Hilton, by phone or e-mail, office@stpaulsepis.com. Our newsletter, The Epistle, is published monthly and includes information on parish activities and programs.
