Our mission
St. Paul's is an Episcopal Community of Baptized Christians who are called by God to go out and make disciples of Jesus Christ
Inviting people...
We welcome you to the Cathedral Church of St. Paul! We are excited to share with you our Episcopal faith and beliefs. At the heart of our faith is the belief that God loves all people unconditionally.
One of the foundations of our faith is the Book of Common Prayer. This book serves as a guide for our worship and contains prayers and liturgies that have been used for centuries. It helps us connect with God and each other in a meaningful way.
In addition to the Book of Common Prayer, we also turn to the Bible as a guide for our beliefs and practices. We believe that the Bible is a living document that speaks to us today, and we study it together to better understand God's message for us.
To know Jesus...
We are delighted to invite you on a transformative journey to know Jesus, understand his teachings, and grow closer to him! At St. Paul's, we believe in the power of building a strong foundation of faith and love. Our mission is to guide you in practicing his love, showing compassion to others, and getting involved in the community.
Through engaging groups and meaningful experiences, we provide opportunities for you to deepen your spiritual connection with Jesus. Whether you are new to faith or have been on this journey for a while, our community is here to support and encourage you.
By embracing this journey, you will not only enrich your own life but also have a positive impact on those around you. Together, we can make a difference and spread the message of love, kindness, and compassion.
Through prayer and connection....
We believe that seeking Jesus through prayer and showing love to others are essential aspects of our faith journey. With this in mind, we invite you to join us in deepening our prayer life and building stronger connections with one another.
Prayer is a powerful tool that allows us to communicate with God, seek His guidance, and experience His presence in our lives. It is through prayer that we can find comfort, strength, and peace, and it is through prayer that we can intercede for others and bring their needs before God. We want to create a culture of prayer within our community where we can support and uplift one another through our collective prayers and our groups
Service to the community...
We are focused on serving others and living out the values of compassion and community service! At St. Paul's, we believe in following the example set by Jesus and extending a helping hand to those in need.
Through this commitment, we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of others and create a more compassionate world. Join us as we embark on this journey of serving others and spreading kindness throughout our community. Together, let's make a difference and live the life of Jesus through our actions of compassion and service.
In the Anglican Tradition
As descendants of the Church of England, we embrace our Anglican tradition as Episcopalians! As followers of Jesus, we are committed to living out his life and teachings in our everyday practices. We believe that by honoring our roots, we can better understand and embody the values and principles that have guided our faith community throughout history.
We seek to create a space where the Episcopal tradition comes alive, connecting us to the countless faithful who have walked this path before us. By embracing our tradition, we are reminded of the transformative power of faith and the responsibility we have to be agents of positive change in the world.
We invite all members of our community to join us on this journey! Together, let us honor our roots, draw from the wisdom of our tradition, and cultivate a vibrant and inclusive faith community that reflects the transformative love of Jesus.
