Why attend St. Paul's?
St. Paul's is a church where you can feel at home and connect with others just like you. We strive to be a model of faithfulness to God and relevance to culture and compassion to people. We believe that Jesus is our Savior. But 'Salvation' is not just the goal; it is the gift of God through the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Therefore, out of thankfulness and faith, we strive to live a Godly lifestyle. We believe that the Church should walk humbly, show mercy, and seek the lost through God's Grace.
