Saint Paul Lutheran Community of Faith

At the heart of Saint Paul Community of Faith is its mission:

Saint Paul is an open, affirming, and diverse community of faith. As one community of faith, the members work together in social outreach and shared hospitality. Together we rejoice in the manner in which diversity has enriched, nurtured, and challenged the life and ministry we share in Christ, and we regret actions and attitudes throughout the Church that may have inhibited or prevented access to Word and Sacrament because of age, race, socio-economic or marital status, physical or mental capacities, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We are a Reconciling in Christ community.

The ELCA is the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, founded in 1988. It is 10,000 communities-strong, with 4.2 million members across the U.S., the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Rooted in the theology of Martin Luther, the ELCA embraces the Small and Large Catechism, and celebrates the work of renowned theologians past and present, including Reinhold Niebuhr, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and countless others. At the core of the ELCA mission is its commitment to social justice and active work in communities across the world—for the improvement of living conditions, community development, and education. The synod's tagline, "God's work. Our hands.," speaks to the active theology that is at the heart of the ELCA. For more information about the history and teachings of the ELCA synod, visit elca.org.
