Stewardship & Volunteer Information

As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace ~ (1 Pt 4:10)
Who is a Christian Steward? A Christian Steward is one who receives God’s gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends to them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others, and returns them with increase to the Lord.
At St. Paul's, we are all Christian stewards. We are a community of faith:  a people of God who are formed by the New Covenant in and through Christ. Each member of our parish shares in the responsibility for its mission, each is called to practice Stewardship of the Church. We are called to look outward and to place ourselves at the service of the entire community, especially those who are most in need. The Eucharist is both the sign and the agent of this expansive communion of charity.
As a stewardship parish our parish leaders and staff seek out and support parishioners in need and in their involvement in the ministries of the parish.  As a community, we encourage each other to develop a closer relationship with God. Consider volunteering and taking part in our existing ministries or suggestioning new activities that will help to expand opportunities for all to use and share our God given gifts.
Genesis tells us God placed the first human beings in a garden to practice stewardship – “to cultivate and care for it” (Gn 2:15). The world and all the creatures in it remain entrusted to the care of men and women for God’s glory and the service of humankind. 
   As part of stewardship, our mission to empower our parishioners to grow in faith and contribute their gifts of service to God and neighbor is carried out in our many ministries and committees. Maintaining our spiritual home depends on every one of us for it to thrive.

St. Paul welcomes parishioners over 13 years of age to give of their time in at least one ministry.        Many of our ministries and committees require limited time, so even our busiest of parishioners can participate in nurturing and growing our body of Christ.  Please visit our Ministry Directory to see where your time and talent could be best shared.  

If you are starting a new ministry, and it has been approved by our pastor, please complete the Ministry Form so that it can be added to the Directory.

Contact the parish office, the pastoral council, or a ministry lead in order to explore volunteer opportunities that will be sure to help you grow in your faith and devotion to God, and strengthen our parish community.
