St. Paul on giving...

II Corinthians 9:7, 11

A Dynamic Church of Growing Christians....
One of the best ways to exhibit that we are a dynamic church is to celebrate our past, embrace our present, and prepare for our future. St. Paul United Methodist Church is positioned for continual growth rooted in the fundamentals of community, family, fellowship and praiseful worship.
Now is a growing season for St. Paul United Methodist Church as we take this bold step of faith in the physical form of our Franklin Street House Purchase and Wesley Hall Improvements.
Through God's love for us we are confident He will provide for us. Through His work in each of our members, all things are possible. Please pray for this capital campsign, and ask God what you can do to make these projects a reality for our church. Let us strengthen our faith and become Christ-like by living in faithful commitment, sacrificial love, and generous giving.
