All Are Welcome

Newcomers and Visitors are expected. At St. Paul & the Redeemer we welcome orthodox believers and skeptics, people of all races and cultures, people of all classes, abilities, and sexual orientations.

While we impose on no one the necessity of changing to be part of our worship and community life, we offer a variety of opportunities for growth and transformation through hospitality and fellowship, worship, study, and service to the larger community.
