Very early in our process of searching for our next minister, the congregation took part in a survey. Part of that survey asked where we thought we should be as a congregation two years after we had called a new minister. The following “Vision Statement” is what the Search Committee put together from our responses.     

 St. Paul’s Vision Statement

Two years after the transition to a new minister, St. Paul’s is in the midst of a slow transition from the very traditional services of the past to a more spirited presentation of style of service with more uplifting contemporary music combined with the traditional hymns. The service, is still however, firmly rooted in the scriptures and on Jesus Christ as our Saviour. Special services celebrating our relationship with God, our history and our country are important to the congregation. The demographics of the congregation are changing. More families with young children are attending the church. There is a greater emphasis on youth ministry, both in the involvement of the congregation and in the types of programs that are offered. At the same time, the church continues to be sensitive to the needs of our more mature members. St. Paul’s continues to be a caring congregation that supports members of the church in times of need and reaches out to the community to help others in need of support.
