Getting Involved
Want to know how you can get involved at St. Paul's Ventura? We're so glad to hear it! We offer lots of opportunities for fellowship, formation and service.
Fellowship - time spent together building friendships and supporting one another on the journey of faith. This includes coffee hour, potlucks, concerts and special events like Homecoming and the Country Hoedown.
Formation - time spent learning and growing in faith, being "formed" into the people God is calling us to be. This includes small group ministries, classes and studies.
Service - time spent making a difference by serving the world in the name of the Lord. This includes outreach projects and putting our faith into action by standing up to injustice.
Each week we publish a list of ways you can grow in faith through fellowship, formation and service.
