Music is an important part of worship at St. Paul’s. St. Paul’s liturgy and song is supported by a Moeller pipe organ installed in 1954. The Chancel Choir brings together the talents of many of our members. Led by our Director of Music, Elaine Lindsey, and at times combined with special instrumental music, the choir serves and enriches our worship. The Contemporary Worship service is led by a dedicated group of musicians and vocalists called Spirit Song, who are directed by our Contemporary Worship leader, Steve Dooley.
A number of committees under the direction of our Church Council provide a variety of ways to serve God’s purposes in and through our congregation.
Some of our regular ongoing committees include the Social Ministry Committee, which helps the congregation respond to God’s call to help our neighbor in need, our Property Committee, charged with the care and maintenance of our church property, and the Worship and Music Committee, which oversees and coordinates the worship life of our congregation. Other committees include the Evangelism Committee, concentrating on inviting and welcoming new members to our family of faith, the Stewardship Committee, lifting up God’s call to give of our time, talents and treasure to the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ, the Christian Education Committee. working with our Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and adult education efforts to communicate the stories and meanings of our faith to one and all, the Weekday School Committee, serving as a school board for our weekday school, the Spiritual Growth Committee, which seeks to initiate small groups in the congregation, and the Youth Committee, which oversees our youth program, guides our cradle roll programs and manages our college student ministry.
St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is a congregation rooted in the past, growing in the present and rising toward God’s future. We are a church in which the past, presence and promise of God’s love and grace are celebrated and proclaimed. As we celebrate more than 150 years of God’s love, we look forward to the new and transforming possibilities for mission and ministry God calls us to.
The purpose of St. Paul’s Evangelical
Lutheran Church is to
share the good news of Jesus Christ through worship,
discipleship, and service.
