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: - Worship that touches
hearts and minds through word and sacrament for the sake of the kingdom;
- Formation
that encourages, develops, and supports disciples for ministry in the world;
- Service
that flows from a clear mission, identifying core ministries in the service of
God's people; and
- 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.
