About St. Paul’s
St. Paul’s is a church with a growing and vibrant ministry for children and families. We currently welcome 20-30 students to our Children’s Church each week, and this group continues to show exciting growth. Our major community outreach events reflect this momentum; our annual Eggstravaganza now regularly welcomes 100-120 children, and our Vacation Bible School consistently draws around 40 children, with attendance increasing each year.
To build on this foundation and provide meaningful Christian Education for the spiritual maturity of our youngest members, we are excited to begin the search for a dedicated Director of Family Ministry.
