Parish Life & Fellowship
Share Life in Community
St. Paul’s is an extended family shaped by love, acceptance, and hope - one person at a time. Parish life creates spaces where newcomers and longtime members can build relationships, enjoy fellowship, and support one another. Friendship and shared meals are not separate from our faith; they are part of how we learn to welcome and care for Christ in one another.

Parish Life Ministries
Newcomers’ Ministry
Everyone at St. Paul’s shares responsibility for welcome. Greeters invite newcomers to sign the guest registry and receive a welcome bag; volunteers follow up with a letter and invitations.
Periodic newcomer gatherings create opportunities to meet clergy and ministry leaders and begin building relationships.
Contact Meaghan Thomas.
Family Ministry
Family-ministry events help children, youth, parents, and caregivers share faith and friendship.
Current opportunities are announced in The Red Door, the bulletin, parish email, and the calendar.
