Mission & Outreach
Advocating for the needs of others
Advocacy
Advocacy is a public witness, articulating positions that are consistent with our faith. St. Paul is a member of Bread for the world, a Christian organization that advocates for the sake of hungry people around the world.

We also support the ONE Campaign, advocating for significant increases in federal funding to fight extreme poverty and AIDS.
Peacemaking
Peacemaking is a core commitment for Christian people. We are called to be witnesses to peace, justice, and love. As a congregation, we advocate for public policies that make the world safer, more democratic, and more humane.

Hope and new life for refugees
In St. Paul worship recently, we remembered the refugees of the world.
Since 1939, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service has been welcoming the stranger, bringing new hope and new life to refugees and other vulnerable immigrants as they put down roots in America.
"Our faith should quell our fears, never our courage." ~William Sloan Coffin
