Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear?
St. Paul has no established dress standard. Some members feel most comfortable in a suit and tie,
while others wear jeans. Please come as you are and worship with us.
What about baptism?
At St. Paul, we celebrate adult, child, and infant baptism by pouring.
How often do you have Communion?
Communion is celebrated several Sundays each month.
Who can receive Communion?
All baptized Christians who believe Jesus is really present in the bread and wine are welcome to come to the Lord’s Table,
regardless of whether you are a Lutheran or a member of St. Paul. Children who have not yet received communion
instruction may come forward for a blessing.
Are my children welcome?
Absolutely! Children are always welcome at St. Paul. We offer Sunday
School for them each Sunday at 9:15 AM. A children’s activity bulletin
and activity bags can be found in Sunday School Office. During
worship, they will be invited to come forward for a special children’s
sermon where they will hear God’s message. Vacation Bible School at
St. Paul is a great way to learn about God’s love each and every June.
What if my kids get noisy during the service?
Children are always welcome for worship. Should you feel they are too
restless or noisy to remain in the Sanctuary, we have a Nursery
available. Parents are welcome to take their children to the sound
equipped nursery so that parents and children can continue to enjoy the
worship experience.
What is available for my teenager?
There are many exciting opportunities for the youth at St. Paul to engage with one another and with God. Our teens actively
take part in our Confirmation Program, Sunday School, and SPY (St. Paul Youth).
Is the Church handicap accessible?
Yes. The Sanctuary is accessible by a wheelchair ramp. All floors of the
building can be accessed via elevator.
What is the NALC?
The NALC (North American Lutheran Church) is a rapidly growing
Lutheran Church that is Christ-Centered, Mission-Driven, Traditionally
Grounded, and Congregationally Focused.
