weekly parking brief
Parking on St. Paul's Campus
East-side church entrance closed
Exciting campus improvements coming! | Construction has begun on the east side of our entire campus. During this time the east (park-side) entrance to the church will be closed. While this means we will no longer be able to use the walkway from the park to the church during this time, the improvements will bring many blessings to our campus!
Pinnacle will be creating a new drive along the east side, which includes additional parking spaces, required stormwater drainage, and a new entrance and exit flow onto Manchester Road.
The project is expected to be completed by December 1, 2025 — just in time for us to enjoy expanded parking and improved access for the Christmas season!Sundays | Construction is underway with parking available on our north lot. For handicapped parking, please reference parking diagram below.
Monday-Friday 6:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. | Please note that there is no parking at our west entrance (Ballas Road side) on weekdays because the zone is used as a heavy equipment throughway.

reformation sunday: Oct. 26
Cornerstone Laying | Sunday, Oct. 26
- The congregation is invited to join in procession after the late service for the ceremonial laying of the cornerstone, including placement of a time capsule, in our new Saints Hall center.
"Worst WurstFest" | Sunday, Oct. 26 | Noon | Volunteer
- Much has changed since our first Reformation Sunday festival, the Brat & Pie Fry. With limited gathering space in 2025, is this the worst idea? No, construction can’t stop community when Christ is our cornerstone and compass. (When our new facilities open in Q2 2026, get ready for the best WurstFest!) Join us for meals and mingling in Fellowship Hall and the lobbies, including brats, sauerkraut, pretzels, root beer, dessert, music, and more.
- Volunteer to help at the event or to bake cookies.

Parking Impacts

- Parking limitations are temporary; when construction is complete, full parking capacity will be restored.
- Carpooling is encouraged.
- For worshipers with mobility challenges, we hope to prioritize use of the 86 remaining campus parking spaces
- Passenger drop-off is available at the west lobby entrance, with a new temporary exit created.
- Extra parking is available at Edward Jones, the Village Bar, and at the north-end Schnuck plaza lot.
