St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is a community of faith in the Anglican tradition. We gather as an extended family, welcoming all who wish to grow in the experience, knowledge, and love of God. Our embodiment of God’s love is our involvement and service within our community and the world.

Welcome, I hope your visit to our web site will lead you to join us in worship. As a community we gather to praise God with music, by reading the scriptural word, and growing in our understanding of the body of Christ active in the world. We are also a growing parish that is eager to welcome all who wish to worship, study, and live their faith.

Anglicanism grew out of the unique historical circumstances of the late sixteen- and early seventeenth-century England, which was marked by a powerful sense of national identity and whose populace was split between Catholics and Protestants. Long before the Protestant Reformation, the English church was notorious for its sense of independence. Finally severed from Rome under Henry VIII, the Anglican Church took shape theologically under Henry's three children: Edward VI, a firm Protestant who reigned for six years, long enough to institute the first Book of Common Prayer, a decidedly Protestant document;Mary I, a devout Catholic who reigned for five years, long enough to reinstate certain Catholic practices that Edward had proscribed; and finally the Pragmatic Elizabeth, who in her forty-year reign labored brilliantly to forge not only a society but an established church that was broad enough to include all but the most extreme Catholics and Protestants.

The result was -- and is -- a church of astonishing theological breadth. But it is not breadth in a lax, lazy, anything-goes sense. The Anglican Church, when truest to its own theological traditions, views the mind not as a potential instrument of the Devil but as a gift of God. And it takes seriously the idea of the community of faith as a context within which people from different backgrounds and with varying perspectives can openly share their experiences of God, can attend to one another in a spirit of love, and can thereby gain insights that may help every member of the community to move somewhat closer to God's truth.

The result is a community of faith that is inclusive and welcoming of all races, genders, and cultures. And accepting that we can and do learn from one another.
