How will you use your God-given personality, abilities, and experiences to serve others?
St. Paul Lutheran Church and its members engage in a variety of ministries using an understanding that we belong to a community (worship), and that we need to be fed (discipleship) as well as feed others (outreach).
Therefore, our ministries fall into 3 categories: Worship, Discipleship, and Outreach. We understand that ministry has a life cycle, so ministries may begin or end as needed. If you are engaged in our community and have a ministry idea, reach out to our pastor to learn how you can get started.
