OURÂ VISION
We are a diverse community of believers dedicated to spiritual growth and service to God, our members, and the world community.Â
Â
MAKING CHRIST KNOWN
Our church accepts and embraces diversity in our members and guests. This very principle was established in 1886. St Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church was the first English speaking church in a region of German/Norwegian/Swedish Lutheran Churches. The doors were open to all who came to worship.The church's welcoming position attracted membership growth.
  Â
The past 127 years have been challenged with economic uncertainty and cultural changes. Yet, the church has steadfastly kept its focus on outreach, ministry, and service. In 2000, St. Paul's became a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) church. We look forward to many more years of welcome and service ministry in our community.
