Welcome to St. Paul’s!

Welcome to St. Paul’s! We are happy to have you here with us. If you are considering a new church, after looking at us online, we encourage you to worship with us. Since we are located right across the street from the Capitol building on Ottawa St., we are easy to find. Parking is free on Sundays in the parking garage off of Seymour St., directly behind the church. On Sundays, we celebrate Holy Communion at 8:00am and 10:00am. The 10:00am service features a rich musical liturgy, while the 8:00am service is a spoken service.

Our former minister retired in June of 2012, and we are now in a transition period while we search for our next rector.  This is an exciting time for us; our search is nationwide because we want to call a new priest who appeals to our needs and challenges us to ministry to the ever-evolving changes in our culture.

Meet Karen Lewis!

The Rev. Karen C. Lewis was highly recommended to the vestry for the position of Priest-In-Charge by both Bishop Gibbs and Canon Tucker-Gray.  The wardens interviewed Karen on phone and submitted a set of questions for her to answer.   Answers to the Q&A, a resume and church profile were given to the vestry to review.  On January 21 during the vestry meeting, the entire vestry participated in a phone interview with Rev. Lewis.  Following the interview and more discussion, it was unanimously decided to issue a call as St. Paul’s Priest-In-Charge.

Karen was educated at Central Michigan University with a BA in Journalism.  She has course work from Wayne State toward an MBA.  She was a marketing director in southeast Michigan for commercial and nonprofit organizations.  She was a director of Christian Education for 4 years before earning a M. Div. at Seabury Western – Theological Seminary in 1995.  She began her ministry at All Saints, Pontiac and was ordained priest May 1997.  Karen created the “Bound Together” program at All Saints which is still successful today.  Karen has served as:

    • Transitional Deacon/Assisting Priest/Priest-In-Charge, All Saints, Pontiac, MI 1995 – 1998
    • Associate Priest, St. John’s Plymouth, 1998 – 2000
    • Assistant to the Bishop, Canon for Christian Formation, Diocese of Michigan, 2000 – 2002
    • Vicar, St. James. Milton-Freewater, OR, 2002 – 2005
    • Canon to the Ordinary, Diocese of Eastern Oregon, The Dalles, OR, 2002 – 2006
    • Canon to the Ordinary, Diocese of Central New York, Syracuse, NY 2006 – 2009
    • Interim Priest-In-Charge, Geneva, NY 2009 – 2013

A widow of a little less than a year, Karen is the mother of three children and grandmother of four.  Her children live in Charlevoix, Chicago, and Tucson, AZ.  Her other family members reside in the Rochester, Michigan area.  Karen is looking forward to returning to Michigan and serving as St. Paul’s Priest-In-Charge.
