COMMITTEES & COUNCILS
A church does not run by the hands of one person. It takes the dedication of many people to make a church work smoothly and efficiently.
 

Committees and councils are a vital part of St. Paul's, and are responsible for various aspects of the church.  We work individually and together for the enrichment of the church for Christ.

 

Here you'll learn about the committees and councils that make up the "body" of St. Paul's, as well as what each of those "body" parts does within the church.

 

It takes time and effort from each & every member of the church to make the church grow and to keep it healthy and alive!
