St. Paul's Mission Statement

St. Paul believes that the church is the Body of Christ, redeemed by his sacrificial act on the cross.  The disciples of our risen Lord, we, the church, are called to demonstrate Christ's love for all of God's people, to nurture the spiritual growth of both our members and constituents and to warmly welcome others into the fellowship of our Christian community.

As a community of faith, the mission of St. Paul UMC is to minister to the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of both our church and the larger community through our prayers, programs, and missions outreach.

Please join us this Sunday morning.  We start with Donuts and Coffee at 9:30, Opening exercise at 9:45, Sunday School at 10:00 and Sunday Worship Services at 11:00 a.m.
