Gathered at the table: Al and Sandy Hutson
We have found St. Paul to be a friendly, welcoming place to worship from the very first day we attended. After that first service, more than five years ago, we sat in the narthex enjoying a cup of coffee, while observing people greeting one another with laughter and animated conversation. Soon Pastor Marty approached, introduced himself, asked about us, and shared information about the church. We told him we were looking for a new church home. He hoped we would come back and make St. Paul that home. We never went anywhere else and joined St. Paul soon thereafter.
We appreciate the pastors’ thought-provoking sermons and the music of the contemporary service. Our faith has grown deeper as we’ve enjoyed worshiping with people of all ages and experiences and become more involved. Every St. Paul Pastor is welcoming and sincerely cares about each member of our large congregation. Additionally, the St. Paul staff is always available to assist in any way.
We are pleased St. Paul wisely uses members’ donations to maintain such a beautiful church home, for local and global mission support, for educational options like Sunday morning learning, the annual Faith and Life Series, All St. Paul Reads and more. There are so many opportunities to volunteer. Some of the ways we’ve enjoyed getting involved include the semi-annual blood drives, neighborhood trash cleanups, and the “Green Team.”
We love it here!
