Making Saint Paul’s Your Church Home
Our membership covenant, formally called the Statement of Faith, affirms the authority of Holy Scripture, the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds, the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and the doctrines of grace expressed in the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion.
Those seeking membership meet with Fr. Steve to discuss their faith, Baptism, Confirmation, and the Church’s teaching and expectations for Christian living. Members are those who regularly attend, give sacrificially, and faithfully serve at Saint Paul’s.
Following the Rector’s recommendation and the Vestry’s approval, new members sign the Statement of Faith, publicly affirm it during a Sunday service, and sign the parish register. Baptized children of members are also recognized as members of the household of faith.
If you would like to make Saint Paul’s your church home—or have questions about membership, Baptism, or Confirmation—please speak with Fr. Steve or email steve@saintpauls.net.
