Welcome

Welcome to the St. Paul United Methodist Church website!  We’re glad you found us, and we invite you to take a few moments and explore the ministry of our unique faith community.
 
As United Methodists, we are grounded in the grace of God, which claims us and loves us as we are and empowers us to be changed into all that God intends for us to be.  We are rooted in the scriptural call to become followers of Jesus Christ.  Our mission is to be the hands and feet of Christ in our community and to invite others to experience the love of Jesus Christ.  We do this through worship, study, and through many fellowship and mission opportunities.
 
Please accept our invitation to join us on Sunday mornings for Sunday School at 10:00am and Worship Service at 11:00am. Check out the calendar on the site and join us for the various events at St. Paul UMC. Feel free to call or email with questions! We want to get to know you and hope that you will find a place to grow in your walk with God and to belong in a community of grace and love.

Announcements

  • Easter Sunday Celebration

    What a wonderful Easter Sunday we had at St. Paul last Sunday, March 31, from the beautiful music to the food and fellowship, and the inspiring worship service, we are so blessed to see firsthand how God works in our lives and through our church!

    Below are a few pictures from Easter.  If you have any pictures from Easter that you would like us to share in the next newsletter, please send them to stpaulsmumc@gmail.com. 

    The Easter Lilies were especially beautiful this year! You can click here to see the insert for lilies bought in memory or honor of loved ones.

    Thank you to Melissa Cook at The Flower Gallery for ordering and delivering the lilies and for designing and giving us the flowers on the cross for Easter Sunday. They were beautiful as usual!
