All Are Welcome:

We believe in God's unconditional love and grace. We affirm the dignity and worth of every person as created in the image of God. We celebrate all loving and committed relationships. We also believe that discrimination is incompatible with Christ's Gospel.
In this spirit, St. Paul's UMC welcomes people of every race and ethnicity, culture, age, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, mental and physical ability, faith history, family history, marital status, educational background, and economic status into full participation in the life, leadership, ministry, and sacraments of our church.
