• St Paul's History & Vision

    We have been a part of this town since 1914. Since our beginning, St. Paul's has been known for its wonderful traditional worship and music. And, we understand that God continues to bless his people in new ways to bring praise to glory to God. 


    At St. Paul's we pay close attention to the needs of our congregation and the world around us. We have well-developed ministries for those who are sick or homebound. We have gifted Stephen Ministers who provide the emotional and spiritual care to those who are experiencing loss or other difficulties in their lives. We celebrate the gift of fellowship and we practice the gift of grace. 


    We are part of the Metropolitan New York Synod, a regional expression of the ELCA. 

    The Reverend Paul Egensteiner is our Bishop. Read his Welcome letter for our upcoming 2023 synod assembly here. This year's theme, "Live Like Christ in Our Communities," is a powerful reminder of our Gospel calling to care for all people with the same compassion and empathy as Jesus would.

Luther's efforts to reform the theology and practice of the church launched the Protestant Reformation.
