St. Paul's is pleased to offer in-person church services carefully planned with safety procedures in mind, and in compliance with COVID-19 protocols in St. Louis County.
Safety measures include worshipers wearing masks, complimentary masks, socially-distanced seating, preregistration to ensure compliance with capacity guidelines, between-service surface disinfecting, distanced entrance and exit flow, services shortened to 30-40 minutes, continuous-line communion, pastors gloved and masked for communion, touchless offerings, hymnals removed from pews, and more.
Whether your comfort level currently includes on-site worship or leans toward extra caution and at-home viewing of services, St. Paul's pastors fully support and understand your prayerful decision. At St. Paul's, we know that choices about public worship and interactions are highly personal, carefully chosen, and should wisely reflect one’s age and medical considerations.
• Volunteer to help at church services (assist pastors, guide, sanitize surfaces, candles, offering)
• Watch church reopening walk-through video, and Pastor's discussion
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. "
