Ministries at St. Paul’s

  • Evangelism

    Here at St. Paul’s, Evangelism is sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with the world through our actions in the community and among all people.

    Food Pantry: We are still collecting toiletries for our Food Pantry - toothpaste, shampoo, soap, body lotion, body wash, etc. (regular sized, not family sized).

    These items are not covered by benefits, so having a supply of these on hand will help us meet the needs of our patrons. 

    The Food Pantry always needs: hearty soups, healthy cereals (i.e., Cheerios - regular sized), canned protein, low-sugar and low-sodium foods. Please remember to donate "regular-sized" items as "Family sized" are too big for the bags.  

  • Property & Support

    The Property Ministry oversees the ongoing maintenance of the interior and exterior of the church building, education wing, and the parsonage; develops and manages long-term capital improvement projects; and directly handles all aspects of grounds maintenance.

    If you are interested in joining or learning more about this ministry, please contact Steven Cooper.

    The Support/Personnel Ministry's primary purpose is to offer recommendations to the Budget Committee and Church Council regarding the compensation packages for employees of the church for the coming year. They also review other personnel issues and make recommendations to the Council regarding personnel matters such as hiring of additional staff.

    If you are interested in learning more about the ministry or in joining it, or if you have any questions, please contact Joan Janshego.

  • Education

    The Education Ministry of St. Paul’s Church focuses on all aspects of Christian education through Sunday school, Bible studies, discussion groups for all ages, and unique opportunities for young adults to talk about faith issues.

    St. Paul’s Sunday School goes by the name of the Rise and Shine Kids Club and is offered to children ages Pre-k through 6th grade. The 2025 - 2026 program year has begun and will run weekly until Pentecost 2026. The program features units centered on Bible stories that culminate in fun kid-oriented service projects. The Rise and Shine Kids Club meets at 9:15 am each Sunday morning during the program year.

    Confirmation: Grades 7-8

    Join us as we journey toward the Affirmation of Baptism.  Confirmation is a time for thinking about our Baptism, examining what the Bible says about our faith, understanding what we believe as Lutherans and why, and --most important of all--to ask questions about our faith!

    Preparing for Confirmation is a 2 year commitment. From September through Pentecost. Confirmation meets Sunday mornings at 9:15-10:15 am and Thursday afternoons 5:00-6:00 pm.

    If you have questions about the class, please contact Pastor Andrea Walker

    Adult Sunday School and Bible Study

    Coffee and Conversation is held periodically throughout the program year during Sunday school hour. The fall session beginning on September 14th will focus on America's religious landscape.

    Bible Study meets every Thursday at noon in Schafer Hall of the Education Building.

    Contact the office for more information on any of these programs.

    We hope you'll join us!
