What to Expect

×

What time should I arrive?

The service starts at 9:30am. Arriving at 9:15 usually gives you time to grab a bulletin, find some friendly faces, and settle in before everything begins.

What should I wear?

Although our worship style is somewhat traditional, our approach is versatile. Some people dress up, others wear jeans. We want you to feel at home so come as you are - however you are most comfortable!

What will happen?

We keep a relatively consistent worship format. Below is just a snapshot of our Sunday; If you're unfamiliar with certain words or concepts, don't hesitate to ask (it can even be anonymous if you want)!

  • Greeting from Pastor Dan
  • Liturgical song of praise (we like the Gloria Patri)
  • Our faith confession
  • Worship song (sometimes traditional, sometimes contemporary)
  • Bible reading
  • Prayer (Pastor Dan delivers this; and we join at the end with the Lord's Prayer)
  • Worship song
  • Bible reading
  • Bible-based sermon (about 20 mins.)
  • Worship song/offering collection
  • Closing statement from Pastor Dan
  • Liturgical closing song
  • Short time of reflection/silent prayer

When will the service finish?

10:45 at the latest.

Can I leave halfway through if I feel uncomfortable?

If you feel the need, you can leave at any time!

Will I be the odd one out?

Nope, there are people at Saint Paul's from many different walks of life. We make an effort to welcome, be gracious, and show kindness to everyone. It's our personal misison to reflect the love God has shown us!

Can I bring my children?

Absolutely, children are a huge part of the church. We have Sunday school and youth group for this reason!

Can I still come if I'm not a Christian - or even not a good person?

Please do! The church is made up of imperfect people who know they need Jesus's saving grace in their lives. It would be strange if any of us were flawless!

Will I be expected to do anything or give any money?

Nope, you won't be bored, embarrassed, or asked for money (we take an offering - but it's for people committed to the Saint Paul's community, not necessarily visitors). However, you will be warmly welcomed, encouraged in your walk with God - and we hope that you would want to come again!

Our Beliefs

Our Beliefs

As part of the Reformed Church of the United States, we hold fast to some core Calvanist beliefs.
We use the acronym TULIP

Although it doesn't cover everything, TULIP defines the portion of our belief system that makes our community unique.
For information on the framework that we base these beliefs on, visit our values page.

  • Totally Depraved

    We're imperfect by nature. All of us. It's why we need a savior!

    For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.
    // Romans 7:18

  • Unconditional Election

    God's saving power is unconditional; it's not based on anything he sees in us.

    And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
    // Romans 8:30

  • Limited Atonement

    God chooses us. Because of sin, we are entirely unable to send our lost souls in the right direction.

    No one can come to me unless the father who sent me draws him. And I will raise them up on the last day.
    // John 6:44

  • Irresistible Grace

    Christ's sacrifice is limitless in its power.

    When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
    // John 10:4

  • Perserverance of the Saved

    We're sustained by God in our faith; He won't take it away.

    And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
    // Philippians 1:6
