What to Expect

We meet in a beautiful old mill building on Route 32 in Willington, about 5.5 miles from UConn. You will see a sandwich board with our name and logo outside our entrance.


The main parking lot is across the street from the building, but there is a smaller lot behind the building for those who would like handicapped access.


When you enter our primary entrance, there is a cafe and office space to your left. We encourage you to come a little early so that you can get coffee or tea and get to know some people.


At St. Paul's we seek to combine a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with reverence for God. The dress is casual (you're welcome to come in a suit and tie, but if you do you may feel a bit out of place).


The musical worship is led by a band – usually guitar, bass, and drums. They seek to incorporate both older and newer musical expressions of faith.


Every week the sermon seeks to bridge the world of the Bible with the present-day and to engage both the mind and the heart in the process. We try to be mindful of a diverse audience – from committed followers of Jesus to people who are still trying to make up their mind. We value preaching that is honest, deep, and willing to wrestle with tough questions.


We celebrate the Lord's Supper every week. Anyone who professes faith in Jesus Christ is welcome to participate, whether you worship regularly with us or not. 


Our service usually ends by noon, although everyone is welcome to stay and fellowship in our chapel or cafe afterward.


If you have any other questions, please contact Pastor Ryan or Pastor Keith.


Children's Ministry

We love having children as part of our church family, and we want every child to have a place where they can learn about Jesus, grow in their faith, and build friendships. On Sundays, Kids Church is available for children ages 4 through 5th grade. Nursery care is available for infants through age 4, and babies and young children are always welcome to worship with their families during the service. We encourage our middle school students to participate in the main worship service alongside the rest of our church family.

Our children's ministry is designed to help kids build a strong foundation of faith and discover what it means to follow Jesus. We want them to see how God's Word connects to their everyday lives, learn to talk with God, build friendships, and grow in their ability to make wise choices, trust God, and love others.
