Serve with Purpose. Grow in Faith.
Every member is gifted. Every gift is needed. Discover where your time and talents can make a difference in the life of our parish and our neighbors.
At St. Paul's, volunteering is not simply an act of service — it is an expression of our baptismal covenant to seek and serve Christ in all persons.
Whether you can give an hour a month or several hours each week, there is a place for you. Browse the ministry areas below, then reach out to the church office to get connected.
