The Goal
The mission of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church is to
gather in Worship as one body of Christ,
grow in faith learning together, and
give in service as we share Jesus’ love
throughout our community and the world.
​
We aim to teach children and young adults:​
​
1. Bible Literacy: Teaching young people how to find truth (especially the hard-truths about life) in scripture in order to establish and solidify personal values and convictions.
​
2. Spiritual Practices: Modeling for young people methods that keep us emotionally-regulated in order to make sound decisions through a strong will and upstanding character.
​
3. Intergenerational Learning: Creating opportunities for children, teens, and adults to learn how to live a God-like life to achieve personal wellbeing and healthy relationships.
