Welcome to St Paul's
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
St. Paul’s welcomes all to worship with us. We believe that we are all uniquely and wonderfully made in God’s image, and we celebrate the diversity of our community. We are an Open and Affirming congregation, and we welcome people of every race, culture, age, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, and socioeconomic status. We commit ourselves to social and racial equity, serving our community, and creating a safe, supportive worship space for all. We believe that visible, open, inclusive worship is central to God’s charge to love our neighbors as God loves us: wholly and without reservation. We serve all in love through Christ, who strengthens us.
