About St. Paul’s
Welcome to St Paul’s, we’re so glad you have stopped by for information about our amazing congregation. We’ve been here for awhile. Founded in 1861, St Paul’s is actually older than Papillion! That means we have sixteen decades of ministry experience with our community. But that doesn’t mean we are stale or boring, far from it! We continue each year to grow in service, study, and worship, welcoming new generations into our ministry and discovering what God is calling us to now, in this time and place.
We hope you will worship with us soon, either in person, or on-line, so you can see for yourself what a vital, vibrant community this is. We believe this is a place you can get to know Jesus, find supportive friends, and discover how God can use you to serve and bless others. Take a look around our website to get the basics, then come discover St Paul’s in person!
