About Saint Paul's UCC
-
St. Paul’s is known as the brick church at the crossroads.
Our congregation includes farmers, factory workers, teachers and commuters.
In 1867, sixteen immigrant families organized a church to serve the German-speaking community. This ministry is wherever there are hungry bellies or souls; where there is injustice or despair.
Our ministry is at the crossroads where Christ places us to serve Him.
Mission
To love God, to love others, to find joy in the journey, and to have fun doing it all!
Aspirational Vision
We aspire to love God with the whole of our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
We aspire to love ourselves, by regularly exercising self-care and taking Sabbath (rest).
We aspire to prayerfully listen for those places God invites us to be on mission with God at the crossroads of our faith and life.
We aspire to grow and mature in our faith in God by intentionally committing to regularly practice our way of life together and apart.
We aspire to collaborate with others—with other churches and other organizations in our community—to uncover the kingdom of God in our midst and to work with God to bring healing to our world.
Finally, in all things, we aspire to have fun, enjoy the good life, and laugh often.
