A Statement of our Core Values
We affirm our call as United Methodists to have: Open Hearts, Open Minds and Open Doors

The Church of Christ is Inclusive

There is only one species of humankind. We are all equally loved and accepted by God.

We are to Care for God's Creation

God gave us the Earth as our home. We are to be stewards of this wonderful gift.

We Provide Meaningful Worship

We provide meaningful worship based on the gospel of Jesus Christ. We provide prayer, music, scripture and sermons that help us see the example of Jesus

We are Called to Serve

We are called to Share the Love and Grace of God by actively participating in ministries of service both locally and globally.

God is the Source of All That Is

All we have and all we are is the result of God's limitless love.

God is Loving and Forgiving

God is neither vindictive nor punishing, but is loving and forgiving.

The Bible is Inspired by God but Written by People

We study and revere the Bible as the literary reflections of a people's faithful witness. The Bible chronicles the life, witness, death and resurrection of Jesus.

Prayer is Communion with God

Prayer is communication with God. He speaks to us through prayer, as we speak to him.

Your Relationship with God is Life's Biggest Decision

God is always with us. Each and every day our actions and reactions reflect our relationship with God.

About Us

St. Paul’s UMC is a church that works to improve the surrounding community. They value meaningful worship and faith exploration through prayer, bible study, and fellowship.
St. Paul’s belongs to a cooperative group of churches located in the city of Syracuse. The group is called Syracuse United Methodist Ministries, or SUMM for short. With the other churches in the city, St. Paul’s looks to change lives one person at a time and bring injustice to light within our society.

We host many 12-step groups, a learning support classroom, and other community groups on the property. St. Paul’s also hosts the Determination Center on its lower level. This daycare provides much-needed child care for working parents.
