    Youth Bible Study

    Exciting changes are happening in our youth ministry! In response to feedback from our youth, we’ll now be meeting twice a month to provide more opportunities for connection and growth. Pastor Ryan, along with Alex Muller and The Urbans, will lead a Bible study on the first and third Wednesday of each month. This gathering is open to all students in 7th-12th grade. Bring your Bible, bring a friend, and join us as we grow together in faith.


    Small Groups

    At St. Paul's, we prioritize creating spaces for meaningful connections through small groups. These groups offer a setting for open discussions about faith, mutual encouragement, prayer, and the development of lasting friendships. If you're interested in joining a small group, please reach out to Pastor Ryan.

    Clifton Strengths Finder

    Curious about uncovering your unique strengths? The CliftonStrengths assessment is a fantastic tool to help you understand how God has equipped you to serve as a "minister" in your own way.

If you're interested, let us know—we’d love to support you on this journey.

To learn more or express interest, please contact Pastor Ryan.
