Something new is happening at St. Paul!
The Gathering at St. Paul is a worship experience built for real life — a space where conversation, community, and authentic faith meet.
Pull up a chair at a round table, share in meaningful modern worship, and join in thoughtful discussions that connect Scripture to everyday life. It’s relaxed, interactive, and deeply rooted in God’s Word.
If you’re looking for a place where you can breathe, belong, and grow… this might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Join us Sundays at 11am.
Worship with us in-person at 10am and 11am on Miami Road or join us online.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:1-9, NIV).
From the first moments of birth, we are encouraged to live independently. A newborn baby must learn to breath on her own once the umbilical cord is cut. Walking is also a rite of passage toward autotomy. A toddler’s first steps open new opportunities to explore God’s creation. Time passes quickly as the child crosses the graduation stage and prepares to leave home.

“For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. So, we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord— for we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:1, 6-7, NRSV).
The human body is a marvel of God’s handiwork. The blood vessels in just one person could circumnavigate the earth two and a-half times if they were placed end to end. The human nose can detect up to one trillion types of smells. My father used to claim that my mother had the ears of an elephant. She could hear my brother and me getting into trouble from a mile away.

“I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:1-2, NRSV).
“From where will my help come?” (Psalm 121:1, NRSV). What a fascinating question. Ancient wisdom has it that God helps those who help themselves. Pastor Rick Warren disagrees by claiming, “God doesn’t help those who help themselves. He helps those who turn to Him.”

“So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:42-44, ESV).
I can’t help but wonder if this passage was one of the Apostle Paul’s favorites. Paul spoke of the “thorn in the flesh” from which he suffered mightily. No one knows the particular malady with which Paul struggled. Some have suggested that Paul was blind. Others claim that he endured debilitating seizures.
