Connect with an Open Heart

Our church wants to connect with each other and God through worship, Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and other spiritual development.

  • Children & Youth Ministry

    Ages (birth- 5thgrade)

    Our goal is to nurture, mold, and train leaders. The purpose of SPUMC Children’s ministry is to offer hope to all volunteers, children and parents, by presenting the truths of God’s word through age appropriate resources.

    We put forth great effort to provide your child with quality care while you focus on building relationships and enjoying the service. We know that learning begins at birth so we’ve designed each class with fun activities that make learning about God entertaining and easy to get into!

  • United Women in Faith

    The Women’s Ministry of St. Paul United Methodist Church is a ministry for all women – no matter your age, background or life stage. Our goal is to connect women to God and to one another.  To achieve these goals, we offer a variety of events, including women’s Bible studies, prayer calls, service opportunities, social outings and an annual retreat and conference. Come and connect with us and God!

  • Young Adults Ministry

    Offers opportunities for young adults in all phases of life with a forum to spiritual exploration and growth as a single individual. Fosters opportunities for service in the community and builds a social network of Godly singles who celebrate life.

Serve with Willing Hands

Our church offers a wealth of ministry opportunities for you to engage in service. As we serve, our talents and gifts are unleashed which allows the church to operate at its maximum effectiveness and impact our internal and external family. Serve is what we do in the church and for the church.

  • Congregational Care & Grief Support

    Provides overall care of all members to ensure they are connected to a community of faith that believes and affirms through the love for God.

Go with Ready Feet

Our church encourages us to move from the pews of the sanctuary into the world and our community. It means we may join other organizations in service and engagement. This is an opportunity to build relationships with people of all walks of life, including multi-faith and even those who are non-believing. We reach out to others, without judging, engaging in impactful relationship building. Our reach to the community includes the homeless, social and economic justice, racial reconciliation, the Arts, and community building.

  • Prayer Ministry

    It is our desire to actively encourage and promote a culture of prayer within the life of the church. Our hope is that the ministry of prayer is achieved every day in each of our lives. The prayer ministry:

    • Prays for the church community, individually and corporately.
    • Provides leadership in prayer for the church members, friends and family.
    • Provides leadership during church related special services and events.
