We welcome you to worship at St. Paul. Details »
Grounded in God’s Word
Worship at St. Paul is grounded in the living and abiding Word of God. In the midst of an ever-changing world, this church strives to be a place to express the mission of God in the world.
In the rich tradition of the Christian faith, Lutheran worship at St. Paul is grounded in the centrality of grace.
Passionate worship is a core value »
Liturgy and song
Inspiring liturgy and enriching songs and ideas bring vitality to St. Paul worship life. A spirit of variety and surprise marks Sunday worship. Expect to experience a blending of diverse musical expressions, artistic images, and worship styles.
With Bach and jazz, quiet prayers and contemporary touches, you can join your heart with others in creative praise to our great God.
Each Bix Weekend in late July, Chicago jazz musicians lead our worship. It’s worth prioritizing in your summer plans. The Chicago Jazz Mass Ensemble brings us some of the best jazz in town.
Contemporary service
The sanctuary design and state-of-the-art technology provide the perfect setting for Open Spirit, the 45-minute service led by a gifted contemporary music ensemble each Sunday.
This more informal worship time begins with pre-service song about 10 minutes before service time. More »
