Our History

2005 marked the 40th anniversary of St. Paul Lutheran Church as a congregation. We give thanks to Our Heavenly Father for so many years of faithfulness given to and given through St. Paul. From the founding of the congregation in 1965, through the move to our present location in 1987, God has provided this congregation with many and varied blessings. St. Paul has been a welcome place over the years for a number of individuals and families to call their home church.

With a beautiful and varied music and worship life, we have also worked to make it a welcome place for people of all ages. Sunday School and Adult Education have been strong and we hope will continue to grow. Several members are involved in mission work in different parts of the world. And several others have either recently completed ministry training or are anticipating it in the near future. This past year, we began St. Paul on the Air, our radio ministry on WWJS 1580 AM. We will also be starting a new Mission Endowment Fund in 2006 that will allow us to begin other ways of reach out with the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We pray and ask God to continue to bless St. Paul's congregation with his guidance and presence as He has done since our humble beginnings.
