Ministries
Worship Ministry
Provides creative vision and practical assistance with all aspects of Sunday worship, special gatherings and services. Organizes greeters, ushers, coffee hour, flowers, communion set-up, welcome materials and more.
Compassionate Care
Actively addresses the practical and spiritual needs of our congregation, our community and our world. Coordinates outreach to our members, homebound visitation programs, funeral luncheons, mission ministries - including Faith in Action and Jackson Interfaith Shelter.
Music Ministry
Fills our church with a joyful noise unto the Lord. Collaborates on programs with the Director of Music, including The St. Paul Singers adult choir, The St. Paul Ringers bell choir and our Chapel Choir and Chimes for children.
Family Discipleship Ministry
- Sunday School Starting on Sunday, September 15th, we are thrilled to offer a robust, weekly Sunday School program with something to offer children of all ages! St. Paul will be using the Whirl! All Ages curriculum from Sparkhouse Publishing, which will follow along with the same lectionary readings that we use in Sunday worship. We have a mixed age range of children and we are excited to empower older children to learn while also serving as "Junior Helpers," which means that they will help their younger buddies learn about the Bible, and what it means to follow Jesus! We hope you'll check it out!
- Fun together! St. Paul plans and offers a lot of fun, meaningful social opportunties throughout the year for families of all shapes and sizes to enjoy time spent with church friends and the community. Around Halloween you can come and enjoy our annual Trunk or Treat event, or at Christmas time you might enjoy helping with our annual Breakfast with Santa event. We are also always working on new ideas for ways to have fun together!
- Serving Together Jesus teaches us that we serve God when we serve and care for one another, so the children and families of St. Paul like to serve together! This year we will bake Thanksgiving pies for our elderly homebound members, make and decorate Christmas cookies to deliver to area first responders, Valentines Day and Easter cards for home bound folks, and other ways of connecting and serving others throughout the year.
