Vision 2020

As we begin a new year, we step forward with a vision to continue growing our congregation: welcoming visitors, serving our neighbors, and growing in faith. We envision being a vibrant, lively, and faith-filled congregation in the Artois area. To bring this about, we need the involvement of our members, friends and visitors. We ask your help in the following ways this coming year:


  • Participate

    Participate: it matters. We enthusiastically encourage you to join regularly in worship, build your faith through church activities, and work with us share the news of our beloved congregation. Your presence is a strengthening witness to others – and we love to share Sunday worship and fellowship with you. We heartily encourage you to get involved regularly at St. Paul's this year!   

  • Serve

    Serve: there are many ways we need help to strengthen our ministry and serve our neighbors. The page below lists opportunities at St. Paul's in the coming year. We invite you please prayerfully get involved in a volunteer opportunity for the year ahead..   

  • Give

    Give: many people make gifts to the church, and we rely on the generosity of our commitments. However, as we grow in our reach, we also grow in our financial needs. We graciously invite your donations this coming year, which will be used to continue growing our ministries and deepening our faith at St. Paul's. Contributions are collected weekly during worship, and gifts may be posted to our mailing address: PO Box 229, Artois, CA 95913
