About Us

Mission and Vision:
Taking our cue from the Baptismal Covenant, the mission of St. Paul’s is to proclaim by word and example the good news of God in Christ. Our vision, the way we live out that mission, is multifaceted. We are first and foremost a worshipping community. All that we do is informed by our identity as faithful disciples of the risen Christ, which has its foundations and nurturing through the spiritual disciplines of a community at worship. Among those disciplines, hospitality and service to our communities are of particular importance to us. We are a community who respects and welcomes all into our midst, regardless of who they are or where they may be on their spiritual journey. Likewise, we endeavor to build up the body of Christ and witness to the good news by serving and giving of our resources, both within the St. Paul’s community, as well as to the larger communities of Columbus, our nation, and the world.

Values:
At St. Paul’s, we value our connection with historical Anglican traditions, such as scripture, tradition, and reason each a means of Gods revelation, the via media, and unity in diversity. We uphold the traditional orthodox formularies of the scriptures, the Creeds, the sacraments (primarily Baptism and Eucharist), and this historic episcopate. We recognize and value every person as made in the image of God, welcome the gifts that diversity affords, and seek to equip all the saints in the ministry to which they are called by virtue of their baptism. We will continue to embody the mission, vision, and values of St. Paul’s as an Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Indianapolis.
