Why Consider Exploring St. Paul UCC?

We are so glad you are here!
Our mission at St. Paul is threefold.
We are:
- STRONG IN GOD'S SPIRIT AND GRACE
- CALLED TO LOVE AND SERVE
- CREATING A SAFE & WELCOMING PLACE FOR ALL
Here you will find a place to explore who God is calling you to be, and the freedom to question and ponder those aspects of faith that are most important to you.
We affirm and celebrate that humanity is diverse in many ways including sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. We embrace diversity fully with no limitations and are thankful for each individual and their unique gifts.
WELCOME!!

JOIN US IN SPREADING GOD'S LOVE IN 2025!
2024 was a robust year of impact, growth and congregational commitment. We would love to have you join us in 2025!
We embraced over 100 combined virtual worshipers and in-sanctuary worshipers WEEKLY from around the entire U.S. weekly in 2024! We have a national focus, but with a local footprint.
We launched our online worship experience in March of 2020 during the start of COVID. Having learned how to integrate online worship with our current in-person experience allows our members to engage in worship where it works for them that week - online or in person. We can all remain in community together and hear God's message.
285 Thanksgiving Meals delivered in 2024
230 full dinner Thanksgiving Week Boxes were delivered to EVERY Sunny Hill School family in Carpentersville, IL on November 25th, 2024. These families struggle with food insecurity and financial challenges. We also donated 55 Thanksgiving boxes to the Schaumburg High School Pantry on November 25th, to meet the needs of these families during this season of gratitude. Our congregation never says NO.

In 2024, we reached over 150 individuals per month - over 1,800 total people with needs for food and pantry product support that are hard to find in our community
In July of 2021, we launched a Pop-Up Food Pantry to offer products to individuals that most food pantries have in short supply - paper goods, kitchen products, toiletries and health care products and other pantry staples. We continue to work with other food pantries in the Barrington area to fill in where there are gaps as we launch our 4th year in 2025.
We served over 5,000 meals to food insecure individuals in our area in 2024. Help us to continue to fill the need and execute even greater impact in 2025!
Let's go!

Over 400 meals per month are served to food insecure families in our Barrington community, including lunches and dinners for the housing insecure through Journeys The Road Home Hope Center. We strive to embrace and create great partnerships within our Barrington local community.
