Beliefs and Mission

Our Mission Statement

We, the family of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ, are committed to carry His good news. We celebrate God’s presence by sharing God’s unconditional love with fellowship, worship and service to others. We pray for God’s wisdom and compassion to lead us in our endeavors.

Faith in Action

Our faith in action is evident as we:

  • Invite all persons to Holy Communioncommunion_8048cn
  • Baptize infants, children, and adults
  • Confirm youth and adults
  • Celebrate marriage
  • Visit the sick
  • Comfort the bereaved
  • Pray for those in need
  • Reach out to local and worldwide missions
  • Preach, teach, and spread the Good News

Statement of Faith

We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, who is made known to us in Jesus our brother, and to his deeds we testify:

stained_glassGod calls the worlds into being, creates humankind in the divine image, and sets before us the ways of life and death.

God seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.

God judges all humanity and all nations by that will of righteousness declared through prophets and apostles.

In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Lord, God has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the whole creation to its Creator.  God bestows upon us the Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races.

God calls us into the church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be servants in the service of the whole human family, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ’s baptism and eat at his table, to join him in his passion and victory.

God promises to all who trust in the gospel forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in that kingdom which has no end.

Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto God. Amen.
