Our Missions
St. Paul’s supports a wide variety of mission projects through the budget and in special offerings. Each year the Christmas and Easter special offerings go to four local ministries:
- Hope House for the Homeless (housing for homeless women and children)
- City Mission (housing and meals for homeless men and families)
- Hancock Christian Clearing House (monetary grants for emergency needs)
- Chopin Hall (food and clothing for the needy)
The Missions portion of the budget supports missionaries and projects at the local level, the national level, and the international level.
