Special Moments

Baptisms

Baptism at St. Paul is for the smallest of babies, for children and teenagers, and for adults who have yet to be baptized.

Baptisms are celebrated on different Sundays throughout the year at any of the morning services (8, 9, and 11:15 a.m.). Baptisms can also occur on a number of 5 p.m. Saturday evening services.

Funerals

In a funeral or memorial service, we give voice to our sorrow, thank God for our loved one, and entrust this person into the hands of God.

Funeral visitations are often held at the church. The large gathering area just outside the Chapel is suited for greeting friends and displaying photos. Funerals and memorial services are held in the Sanctuary and the Chapel, depending on circumstances.

For many St. Paul members, burial in the St. Paul Memorial Garden is a biblically-faithful option. Depending on the season of the year, burial of cremains may follow a service or be scheduled for a later date. More on the garden

Those who are an active part of the church’s membership may wish to consider in advance their wishes for a funeral or memorial service. Thoughtful selection of certain hymns and scripture can be a gift for those who remain. Contact a pastor to express your wishes.

Weddings

St. Paul Lutheran Church is the congregational home and spiritual center for people from all walks of life. That includes many couples preparing for marriage and many others recently married.

The church receives a large volume of requests for weddings in the Sanctuary and Chapel. The established wedding policy of the church includes two provisions:

  • The bride or groom must be a member of the congregation, or the child or grandchild of a presently active member.
  • Any member desiring to schedule a wedding must be an active member on the rolls of the church for a full 12 months before any scheduling of a wedding date can occur and before any deposit for such a wedding can be received.

We invite you to explore setting down roots at St. Paul. You can grow your faith alongside the people of St. Paul–wherever your wedding ceremony occurs.
