St Paul’s is one church with multiple congregations of diverse people.
We are a church of many ages, peoples, languages and life experiences. In spite of the diversity there is only one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one hope, one baptism, one God and Father of all and so we share a one passion: to treasure Jesus together for God’s glory and the joy of all people.
What is the GospelOur Purpose
St Paul's exists to treasure Jesus together for God’s glory and the joy of all people. We seek to be a church that unites our diverse community in the good news of Jesus Christ.
