St. Paul's Willimantic is an inclusive and welcoming church - a happy place! We are a small urban church, in an older neighborhood, and we do face all the usual problems. Solutions to those problems are hard to find and we look for them in ministry - ministry to our congregation, our neighborhood, the town and wherever else we find opportunity.
Our energy always has been concentrated on an outward directed ministry and not the “bottom line”. For example, St. Paul's founded the Covenant Soup Kitchen and Isaiah 58 Ministry back in 1981, and now is supporting the construction and operation of an orphanage in Kakata, Liberia. (The foundation is in and in January walls started going up.)
But come visit. You'll find a very cheerful, diverse and open congregation - and you'll be welcome. We are like a family that is always open to adding new members - and like a good family, we love all our relatives even if they're a little strange!
You won't have to worry about fitting in or feeling out of place. Some of us live in the neighborhood and others live in the towns surrounding Willimantic; some of us are gay, lesbian or transgendered. Our faith backgrounds are quite variable. Some of us need the Soup Kitchen and its services and others volunteer there. Drug problems, alcohol problems, or mental health problems are not unknown and we provide as much support for each other as we can. |
