is a welcoming, small congregation where members serve as ushers, greeters, Lay readers, money-counters, Lay Eucharistic Visitors, Sunday School teachers and Altar Guild to name a few. They may also choose to serve on the Vestry, Church Board, or work towards Ordination through the ECMN School of Formation.
Currently our Shared Ministry team has one priest and one Deacon and would love to have more. Come and talk to us.
Members take turns bringing treats for the coffee hour that follows the Sunday morning 1000 service. Once a month, members go out for brunch at an area restaurant following the coffee hour. St. Paul’s congregation has become a church family by praying, serving, and laughing together.
In addition to the Sunday morning service, St. Paul’s offers three weekly Zoom services: Compline on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and Bible Based Discipleship study on Wednesday evening.
Our ministries include participation in the Brainerd Area Coalition for Homelessness (BACH), a Jail Ministry, Laundry Money Donations to Bridges of Hope, and Prayer Support of Habitat for Humanity. Several church members are volunteers.
Kids Kabinet provides clothing for area school age children. School Nurses contact St. Paul’s with clothing needs which are then delivered to the schools. New and used clothing is donated to Kids Kabinet which is housed at the church. Some new clothing is purchased as needed. Every kid should have cloths to go to school. Sometimes accidents happen during the day and the schools are ready with replacements.
