Efraín Zavala » About Us

We are called to be a community of generosity and love where we invite others to join us in becoming disciples of Jesus Christ for the good of the world.

St. Paul’s mission statement expresses the way we identify ourselves through our calling to the life of discipleship. We are a people who long to follow Jesus Christ in everything that we do. We want to invite others to join us in this lifetime quest… for the good of the world.

We do not assume that all the questions have been answered. We do assume that God can create communities of forgiveness, love, mercy and compassion in which all questions can be freely asked and that in the asking, we will be led to new life in Christ.

What makes a church a church? Many would define a church as a building whose primary purpose is Christian worship. At St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, we believe that a church is much more than a building. St. Paul’s is a community of people who will welcome you. Through our website you can continue to read about our diverse ministries and what makes us unique. But the best way to discover the community of St. Paul’s is to join us for worship. We can’t wait to meet you!
