Mission and Outreach

Mission and Outreach Ministries are pathways that transform the hearts of worship into hands of service. We believe that each individual plays a role in creating a just, peaceful, and sustainable world. St. Paul’s Mission and Outreach Committee is work in God’s name, stretching out to meet the needs of those in the wider community.

Bhutanese Refugee Citizenship Readiness Support Group

Refugee Support Group

The financial commitment made by the vestry sends a strong message about the importance of mission and outreach at St. Paul’s. We will continue to develop existing programs, while responding to new projects.

Through our outreach ministries, we seek to serve Christ in all persons, shining as a light in the world to the Glory of God as promised in our Baptismal Covenant. We encourage everyone at St. Paul’s to be active and generous participants who inspire, lift, and advocate on behalf of those in need.

We pledge to seek, serve, and shine by devoting our time, talents, and treasure to serve the most vulnerable in our community and around the world.
