Common Questions

St. Paul Community United Methodist Church welcomes all visitors and those looking for a church home! We hope that the information on this page will answer any questions you may have and will help you feel more comfortable on your first visit. We invite you to look over the rest of the site to learn more about the life of St. Paul. If you have additional questions, would like to take a tour of the church, or would like to schedule a conversation with a pastor, please contact the church office.

We have one Sunday service each week at 10:00 am. The service lasts between sixty and seventy-five minutes. Holy Communion is celebrated during worship on the first Sunday of most months.

We are committed to providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment to help the children of our community to grow in God’s love.  First,  know that children of every age are always welcome in our worship.  Giggles, squirms and shouts are received as joyful noises! 
 
In addition to worship, we offer programming for children from 6 months old through 12th grade. 
  • For children ages 6months – preschool, we offer nursery care where littles are free to explore & play.SPC Kids.
  • Worship is offered for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade with age appropriate faith lessons that include videos and music along with related games/activities.
  • SPC Students are for students in 6th through 12th grades who gather together on the1st through 3rd Sundays of every month.
During worship on the 4th and 5th Sundays of each month, students are invited to attend worship with their family in the sanctuary. Our student curriculum is faith based and relative to the lives of pre-teens & teenagers.
Not sure if you should bring the kids? 
 
For additional information, please contact the Director of Children’s Ministry Jeanne LeBlond or Director or Student Ministry Kate Suever.

St. Paul does not have a dress code! You will see everything from suites and dresses, to khakis and jeans.  Most Sundays most children wear what they wear to school.  On Easter Sunday and Christmas more people tend to dress “up” whatever that means to them.  Most importantly, we want you to feel comfortable.

Through out the COVID pandemic, St. Paul nimbly adjusted and took steps to follow the best advice from our denomination, health authorities, and the government.  The safety of our community is at the forefront of our thoughts and efforts.  The most obvious ongoing change we have made since COVID is that we use individual servings of bread and juice when we celebrate communion.  Many weeks you will see a few people wearing masks to protect themselves or others.  If you are contagious, we ask that you worship with us online.

We suggest that you plan to arrive a bit early to allow time to get your bearings and to check-in your children for Sunday Morning Programming. If you have time, enjoy the coffee and treats served near the worship space in the Front Parlor before and after services.
