As followers of the God of Love, we at St. Paul's welcome people of all gender identities and sexual orientations, and we celebrate this diversity as one of our Christian values. As an Affirming Church, we celebrate same-sex marriage and we stand with the Episcopal Church in this life-affirming practice. 

We invite everyone to receive the bread and wine of Holy Communion, with no exceptions made. This invitation is based on the Biblical understanding that we are all children of God, and thereby worthy to participate in this ancient and sacred ritual.

The rite of Baptism is an “outward and visible sign” of our “inward and spiritual grace.” We believe our Baptisms represent our membership in the family of God. But, we also believe that no one is excluded from the grace and forgiveness that God offers all people.
