Worship Service
Worship is at the heart of who we are at St. Paul’s. Each week, we gather as a community to hear God’s Word, lift our voices in prayer and song, and be renewed by God’s grace. Whether you’ve been part of our church family for years or you’re visiting for the first time, you are welcome just as you are.
Our services blend tradition and warmth, offering a space where people of all ages can encounter God’s presence. We celebrate Holy Communion regularly, and all who seek Christ are invited to the table. Children are always welcome in worship, and we rejoice in the sounds and energy they bring.
We believe worship is more than an hour on Sunday, it’s a rhythm that shapes our lives, strengthens our faith, and sends us out to love and serve our neighbors. We hope you’ll join us and experience the joy of worshiping together.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Jay

Sunday School Programs
Sunday School – Sundays at 9:00 AM (During the School Year)
Our Sunday School program meets every Sunday at 9:00 AM throughout the school year and provides a fun, meaningful space for kids to learn, grow, and explore their faith. Each week includes age‑appropriate lessons, hands‑on activities, and interactive stories that help children connect with God’s Word in a way that’s exciting and easy to understand.
Whether your child is a first‑timer or a regular, they’ll find a welcoming environment where they can build friendships and discover God’s love in a fresh and engaging way. We’d love to see your family there!
Community Fellowship
At St. Paul’s, fellowship is one of the ways we live out our faith together. We gather not only for worship, but to share life—supporting one another, celebrating together, and building relationships that strengthen our walk with Christ. Whether it’s over a meal, a service project, or simple conversation, our fellowship is a reminder that we are part of a caring, connected church family. There is always a place for you at the table.
Have you ever wanted to read the Bible all the way through??
Reading with Pastor Jay
Our 52-Week Bible Reading Journey Begins August 1 2026 !
Starting August 1, we're inviting everyone at St. Paul's to join us as we read through the entire Bible together over the next year.
One important reminder: It doesn't matter which Bible translation you use. Whether you read the King James Version, NIV, ESV, NLT, or another faithful translation, the goal is that we're reading God's Word together as one church family.
Read at your own pace during the week, pray before you begin, and let God's Word encourage, challenge, and transform your heart.
