I'm New
Welcome. Nice to meet you.
We are delighted you are here and welcome you with open arms and warm hearts to our church community.
What to Know
The main church parking lot is on 4th street. Ample parking is available and it is fully handicap accessible. Enter the main doors and go up the beautiful stairs. If you need an elevator it is to the right. Our sanctuary is on the upper level.
At the top of the stairs, you will see our beautiful sanctuary on the left. Bathrooms are located opposite those doors and at the rear of the sanctuary.
In the sanctuary, you are welcome to sit anywhere you like. Promise. There are no assigned seats. Please sit where you feel the most comfortable.
After service people visit with each other in the Gathering Area at the top of the stairs. We look forward to the day we can have coffee there again.
The congregants at St. Paul Lutheran feel like family to each other and are delighted to have you join us. A member of our Welcome Team will seek to welcome you before or after service.
Our services begin at 9am and are about 50 minutes in length. Most people arrive 5-10 minutes early. We do communion weekly and all are invited to share in this gift of grace.
Our services, led by Pastor Glen Bickford, are traditional but streamlined and updated. The perfect combination of hymns, scripture, and updated prayers and music.
Please take a communion cup and bulletin from the table as you enter the sanctuary. All are invited to partake in this portion of the service, with no exception. We are temporarily using the self-contained communion cups to be COVID safe. If you forget a cup or would like assistance opening it during the service, please just raise your hand and an usher will assist you.
The service will be printed in your bulletin and also on the screen to the left of the alter.
Children are always welcome at St. Paul Lutheran Church. Whether snuggled asleep or walking in the aisle, children are a blessing and parenting is difficult.
Special needs? Feel free to bring what comforts your child as long as it does not interfere with service. All God's people are welcome.
For your convenience, there is a nursery with changing table, diapers, emergency change of clothes, and toys located near the restrooms out the side of the sanctuary. Anyone at church will be happy to help you find this resource.
Please wear what you like. Jeans are welcome and a frequent choice. Come as you are.
