Meet the Congregation of St. Paul’s
St. Paul's is a Christ-centered, gifted, vibrant and diverse congregation that seeks to participate in God's mission to love, save and bless the world. We see our identity formed by our connection to Christ Jesus in our baptisms.
In baptism we experience the good news of God's love in Jesus Christ: God makes us part of God's family, gives us a new name, a new life and new purpose. In response to what's God has done for us, we make a commitment to follow Jesus. This congregation regularly renews its baptismal vows ...
These commitments express how God gathers us into community, comes among us in worship and sends us into the world. At center of these commitments, we find the center of our lives: the good news of God in Christ. What better way to express our mission and purpose: to proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed.
