Ministries at St. Paul U.C.C.

For the past several years, St. Paul has carried out its ministry through the work of Ministry Teams, groups of people with similar interests who serve in particular areas of the church's life. Each ministry has a team leader who identifies work that needs to be done, calls team members together, coordinates the team's work with that of other teams and shares opportunities for ministry with the congregation at large.
See a ministry that fits your gifts and interests? Feel drawn to serve in other ways? Please contact the appropriate team leader or Pastor Karen to get connected.
