St. Paul's Deaf Ministry
Our Sunday Services have an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter and offer all people the opportunity to learn, grow and experience church in a new and exciting way. This is a fully integrated Deaf Ministry, not one that separates some of us off to the side, but ministers to all of us together. Our interpreter is one of the altar ministers. She moves around and interprets from wherever the action takes her. This offers everyone the opportunity to participate fully and share the worship experience. What about the people who don't need an interpreter? They get to be inspired on yet another level, by this beautifully expressive visual language. And, because ASL is conceptual (based on meaning, rather than on a word for word translation), it invites us to explore our faith in a unique way, deeply considering the concepts behind the words we use. Come see for yourself. Come get inspired!
Beyond Sunday Worship
We are dedicated to keeping the faith, and working together to put our faith in action. We offer many small groups for bible study and fellowship. We also enjoy working together to reach out and help our neighbors by serving the world in the name of Christ. We feed the hungry, help those in need, and support programs that benefit the homeless, children in foster care, women recently freed from human trafficking, migrants and refugees, and many other important causes. In addition, we are an Abolitionist Congregation actively working to abolish the scourge of modern-day slavery.
Grow in Faith on Sunday and Everyday
We offer lots of opportunities to Grow in Faith. New videos are released several times a week on our YouTube. Each week you can look forward to watching: the Blessing of the Week, a Spiritual Practice Suggestion for the Week, a new edition of St. Paul’s Peace Project, and the ASL Minute as well as a video of today’s sermon and the livestream of this service. If you subscribe and turn on the notifications, you'll receive a message each time we release new content.

The Way of Love

The Way of Love is a way of life.
More than a program or curriculum, it is an intentional commitment to a set of practices. It's a commitment to follow Jesus: Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest
