ABOU T US Discover what is real About Us St. Paul's United Methodist Church was founded in 1958 with the vision of building a loving church for those outside its walls. Since its inception, St. Paul's has grown from a small gathering to a community that reaches many locally, nationally and with our partnership with non-profits, globally. Every week, a few dozen people attend either our Classic or Contemporary Worship Service in person or online in the Northeast Heights Neighborhood and beyond. Our sermons and hope-filled messages are viewed each month through our website and on YouTube. Our methods of living out our Mission and Vision have evolved over the years, but our mission has always been to encourage people to follow Jesus in a real and authentic way. We do so through our Fresh Expression Ministries , Community Connections, Small Groups and Virtual gatherings, our partnering with local non-profits , or through our many online digital offerings. Along the way, by sharing what we've learned, we're committed to being real people, real church and real Jesus. Pastor Mary Ward St. Paul’s United Methodist Church is a place where faith and community come together. We’ve been a part of the local community for over 65 years and are proud to have a female pastor as a first since our inception. We are a vibrant and diverse congregation that is open to all who seek a spiritual home. We strive to be an inclusive and welcoming place where people can find comfort, support and peace.

In the aftermath of 9/11, the church provided pastoral care, counseling, and support to those who were grieving and struggling to make sense of what had happened. The United Methodist Church also called for peace and dialogue with those of different faiths, recognizing that violence and hatred only breed more violence and hatred. The United Methodist Church saw this as an opportunity to promote understanding and love for all people, regardless of their race or religion. As we approach the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, it is important to remember the lessons that we have learned and to renew our commitment to serving and loving our community in a real way.

The events of 9/11 were fueled by hate and extremism, and it is important that we work to combat these forces in our world today. This could involve supporting interfaith initiatives, promoting dialogue and understanding between different communities, and working to address the root causes of extremism and violence. ...we can continue to serve and love our community in a real way by reaching out to those who are still struggling, promoting peace and understanding, and working to make our world a better place. In conclusion, the United Methodist Church responded to the events of 9/11 with compassion and care, and we can continue to serve and love our community in a real way by reaching out to those who are still struggling, promoting peace and understanding, and working to make our world a better place.

In today's world, it's easy to feel like we need to put up a facade and pretend to be someone we're not. This can be especially true when it comes to matters of faith. We may feel pressure to present a picture-perfect version of ourselves to those around us, or to put on a show of religiosity that we don't really feel in our hearts. However, when we do this, we're not being true to ourselves or to God. In fact, being real in our faith is crucial if we want to experience true spiritual growth and connection. Being real in your faith as a United Methodist means living out your beliefs in a way that is true to your conviction and authentic to your personal experiences. United Methodists believe that our faith is not simply a set of beliefs to be memorized and recited, but rather a way of life that is grounded in the teachings of Jesus and the community of believers. One way to live out your faith authentically is by participating in the life of St. Paul's. This can include attending worship services, joining a small group or Bible study, volunteering in the community, or giving financially to support the work of the church. As a United Methodist, you are part of a larger community of believers who share a common faith and work together to make a positive impact in the world. Being real in your faith as a United Methodist means living out your beliefs in a way that is true to your conviction and authentic to your personal experiences. Another important aspect of being real in your faith is being honest about your doubts and questions. United Methodists believe that it is healthy to engage in thoughtful reflection and discussion about our beliefs, and that doubt can be an opportunity for growth and spiritual transformation. By being open and honest about our struggles, we can deepen our faith and become more compassionate and understanding individuals. Ultimately, being real in your faith as a United Methodist means living a life of love, grace, and service to others. It means being committed to the well-being of our communities and the world, and striving to live out the teachings of Jesus in everything we do. Being real in our faith also means being authentic with others. We need to be willing to share our struggles and doubts with our fellow believers, rather than trying to present a perfect image. So, what does it mean to be real in your faith? It starts with honesty. We need to be honest with ourselves about where we're at in our spiritual journey, what we're struggling with, and what we really believe. This can be scary, especially if we're worried about being judged by others. However, when we're honest with ourselves, we can start to address the areas where we need to grow and make real progress. Being real in our faith also means being authentic with others. We need to be willing to share our struggles and doubts with our fellow believers, rather than trying to present a perfect image. This can be difficult, but it's important for building genuine relationships and supporting one another through the ups and downs of life. And as a church family, it starts with us being real people, real church and real Jesus to one another, our community and the world around us. Making a space for being real. Ultimately, being real in your faith as a United Methodist means living a life of love, grace, and service to others. Finally, being real in our faith means being authentic with God. We need to come to God with our true selves, not the person we think we should be. This means being honest in our prayers, admitting when we're struggling, and seeking God's help and guidance to grow in our faith. In conclusion, being real in our faith is crucial if we want to experience true spiritual growth and connection. It may be scary, but it's worth it. By being honest with ourselves, others, and God, we can build deeper relationships and become the people God created us to be. What does being real in your faith mean to you?
