LOVING. LIBERATING. LIFE-GIVING.

St. Paul’s is the church with a heart in the heart of the city of Flint. We’re a downtown church with our doors open wide to the community. Our worship style blends creativity with tradition, and our congregation is made up of a diverse and largely progressive group of people who come from the city and suburbs because downtown Flint is a terrific place to be. St. Paul’s celebrates the joy of loving, liberating, and life-giving Jesus.

St. Paul’s follows Christ and makes a difference in the world through:

• Inspired worship
• Powerful teaching and
• Service to people who are hurting and poor

What We Believe

We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As constituent members of the Anglican Communion in the United States, we are descendants of and partners with the Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church, and are part of the third largest group of Christians in the world.

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.

We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God, and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of sexual identity or orientation.

We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.

​Intentional Inclusion and Democratic Governance

St. Paul’s and the Episcopal Church practice full sacramental equality for LGBTQ people. This includes marriage and ordination. Episcopal Church policies are set democratically by governing bodies made up of lay people, deacons, priests, and bishops.

Examination, Change, and Growth

The leadership and congregation of St. Paul’s have gone through several years of change, leading to introspection and inward growth.

In June 2022, St. Paul’s undertook an exhaustive community-wide engagement of diverse and important stakeholders from across Flint for a dynamic and collaborative COMMUNITY ASSET MAPPING EVENT.  Click the link below to access the report of the 2022 Community Asset Mapping Activity, and to learn more about this important undertaking.  Partners for Sacred Places and Asset Mapping

Secondly, the Strategic Visioning document came about via more concerted work for parishioners and community members to create a clear vision of how we want to see our space used to fulfill the vision we have for St. Paul’s and its role in our community.  The work of the Strategic Visioning endeavors are summarized here:  Partners for Sacred Places Visioning Summary
