Because we believe that Jesus calls us to a life of service to others, St. Pauls encourages our members to be active in volunteering in our community. We also give 10% of our annual income from pledges and offerings towards outreach. Part of that money goes to support the work of the United Church of Christ through Our Church's Wider Mission (OCWM) and part of it goes to community organizations in the form of annual grants made through our Outreach and Benevolence Committee.
