Have you searched for a place to call home?

Have you looked for a community to share your gifts and grow in faith?

Have you yearned for a large extended family that will support you, uplift you, walk with you, and help you grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ?

Then we welcome you home to St. Paul Lutheran Church. 

We welcome you to come home and worship with us, dine with us, fellowship with us, grow in Christian love toward one another with us.

Have you considered becoming part of a family of faith? 

First off, what does it mean to be a “member” of a church? 

Many of us are members of Country Clubs, PTA’s, Rotary, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Homeowners Association, etc. 

But what does it mean to be a church member? 

All baptized Christians are, of course, members of the Body of Christ, of the one holy, catholic, and apostolic church—whether they “do” anything about it or not.  The “doing,” can be signing on to a local congregation, thus becoming a member of it. 

In the Lutheran Church, one can become a member of the church through their baptism at that particular church, by letter of transfer from another Lutheran congregation, or by Affirmation of faith from another denomination. 

But being a church member does not bring with it the same lifestyle and responsibilities that may come from being a member of Boy Scouts, PTA, Rotary, Girl Scouts, YMCA, Country Club, or others.  The church does not exist so that it may be one more social sorority or fraternity for people.  Instead, being a church member implies a relationship that does not hinge on what you wear, how much money you have, your race or sex.  Instead, it brings the promise of eternal relations with God in Christ.  This relationship is nurtured by and with the fellowship of believers, the communion of saints, the word proclaimed, the sacraments administered, and prayers said. 

Come and learn more about St. Paul and what it means to be a member of this family of faith!
