Opportunities for Ministy

We at St. Paul’s are convinced that all are called to roles within Christ’s Church. Some are called to be apostles, some evangelists, some pastors, some teachers, and some prophets. Each of us is called to exercise a role of leadership as we have been blessed with various gifts and abilities. Each of us may also be called to grow and stretch by participating in a project or event that challenges us.

All our opportunities for ministry as disciples of Jesus begin with our worship life together. Nourished by the Body and Blood of Jesus at the altar, and receiving the challenge of God’s Word, we cultivate our relationship with God the Father, and grow by the power of the Spirit.

Many opportunities exist for nourishing our relationship together as a Christian community gathered together in prayer (koinonia):

Altar Guild
Acolytes
Lay Readers
Greeters
Choir
Coffee Hour
Healing Prayer Team

Other opportunities for ministry call us to nourish our relationship with the world as we consider the needs of those in our community and our world (diakonia):

St. Paul's Organ

Local Food Pantry Ministry
Crop Walk (last Sunday in September)
Vacation Bible School (July/August)
Meals on Wheels (May)
Operation Christmas Child
Angel Tree
30 Hour Famine (February – led by our youth)
Local Nursing Home Worship
Angel Food Ministries

In everything we do, we seek to point to Jesus Christ as the source and gift of life.
