About St. Paul
Our Mission
"The Church is a people created by God in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, called and sent to bear witness to God's creative, redeeming, and sanctifying activity in the world. We, baptized members of the Church of Christ, respond in faith to the call of the Holy Spirit through the Gospel, desiring to unite together and carry out God's mission. We shall worship God in proclaiming of the Word and in the administration of the sacraments, carry out Christ's Great Commission by reaching out to all people, serve in response to God's love to meet human needs, nurture the members in the Word of God, and manifest the unity given to the people of God by living together in the love of Christ and by joining with other Christians in prayer and action to express and preserve the unity which the Spirit gives."
