The essential purpose of a church is to help people grow in faith! This section of our website is dedicated to providing you with resources to bless and strengthen your faith journey! And you're not on your own...we want to help in any way we can, through friendships, mentors, classes, whatever we can offer! If there is any way we can help, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page.

​St. Paul's offers lots of opportunities to grow in faith with others along your faith journey.  We welcome you to join any of the classes, even if they are already in progress.  You’ll meet other church members as you learn more about being a follower of Christ. We are always interested in setting up additional weekday and evening Bible study classes for adults.

• Lectionary Study on Sunday Mornings between services in room 208

• Video Bases Class between the services in room 204

• Chat & Chews on the second Sunday of the month at 9:30 am in room 102

• Fire Pit Study on Fridays at 7 pm in the spring, summer and fall outside at the fire pit
