- St. Paul’s provides ministry provides opportunities through the life cycle which address the spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social needs of humanity.
- At St. Paul’s Lutheran School, students are given access to an education that addresses the whole child – socially, intellectually, emotionally, physically, and spiritually they can truly see excellence in education. We believe there are 3 vital institutions that help shape our children. These are the home, the church, and the school. A child’s life is blessed when all these institutions point them in the same direction, which is to our Heavenly Father.
