Children
St. Paul’s Children’s and Family’s Ministry offers a wide range of Christian education, enrichment, and fellowship opportunities throughout the year. We nurture our children at St. Paul from birth onward in a variety of ways; some of these include our childcare program, our rotation Sunday school program and our junior youth group.
