Sacraments | St. Paul's Church

In the life of the Episcopal Church, sacraments are “an outward and visible sign of an invisible and spiritual grace.” They help us to mark and celebrate what God has already done for us, and how God is working in our lives. Oftentimes, sacraments also help us mark pivotal moments in life, like birth, marriage, and death.

Everyone is welcome into the life of the sacraments in this church. At St. Paul's, everyone is invited to receive communion regardless of age, faith background or life circumstance. We invite anyone who desires a deeper relationship with God through Jesus Christ to be baptized. We believe that marriage is a calling open to all people, regardless of sexual orientation. The sacraments are a sign of God's unconditional love for you.

Why Give? God asks us to share our time, talent and treasure. A life of generosity is at the root of Christianity. We encourage you to think about what a meaningful gift would be for you.

When you give to St. Paul's you help fund our ministry in the community, our worship, and the staff that supports our community as we strive to be God's hands and feet in the world.

Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support.

Give Now

Each year, St. Paul’s asks parishioners to say how much they are going to give the parish over the next year. This is called a pledge. Some parishioners set up a recurring gift online -- this counts as a pledge too! St. Paul’s relies on parishioners to make a pledge or a recurring gift so that we can keep the lights on, celebrate the Eucharist, work with our community partners, pay staff, and run all the programming that the parish depends on. Your pledge or recurring gift keeps St. Paul’s running.
