Make A Difference
Volunteers are the heartbeat of our church and we celebrate them all. Whether in greeting guests, ministry team, our kids and student programs, with local partners, or across the globe, our church is intent on living out our faith and inviting others to join.
If you are new to our church or you’ve been here for years, you are missing out if you are not on a serving team!
Check out the ways you can volunteer so you can make a difference in the lives of others.

Fresh Expressions in our Neighborhoods
St Paul’s is on a mission to love our neighbors, love God, and include everyone. And to make this happen, we are launching a Fresh Expressions Ministry.
Our Focus: Our Fresh Expressions Team is dedicated to training, connecting and creatively serving those outside the walls of our church. We engage in various creative neighborhood ministries like socials with neighbors, dinners, movie nights, working with neighbors to meet local needs in the community, and many other creative forms of community gatherings. This is about taking the church into neighborhoods. Taking the church to the places where our neighbors gather.
Join Us: We welcome everyone to join our Fresh Expressions Team! Whether you are a long-time member of St. Paul’s or someone new who wants to make a positive impact, you are welcome to join us because your service and acts of kindness will bring about real life change.
Contact us: For more information or to sign up for upcoming trainings, please contact our Minister of Fresh Expressions, Jeff Nicely. We are excited to have you join us in this creative journey into our neighborhoods. This is a journey of love, compassion and service with no strings attached.
