Supporting our Groups and Activities
Leadership at St Paul's is a shared responsibility. We value the gifts, experience, and commitment of people across our church family, believing that everyone has a part to play in God's mission. We encourage all members to contribute their time, talents, and heart as we grow together in faith and service.
Leading with a shared purpose
Our leadership is guided by our desire to know God and make God known.
We want St Paul's to be a church that is:
Welcoming — where everyone can feel they belong.
Growing — where people of all ages can discover and deepen their faith.
Active — where faith is put into practice through service and community.
Hopeful — where people can encounter the love of God and discover the difference Jesus can make in their lives.
Want to get involved?
Church isn't something that happens because of a few people at the front. It happens when we all play our part.
Whether you'd like to help with children and young people, worship, hospitality, community activities, practical tasks or simply welcoming someone who is new, there are many ways to get involved.
There is a place for you at St Paul's.
