When should I arrive and where do I park?
Service begins at 10:30 AM on Sundays. If you come in the main church doors, you'll be at the back of the church. Even if you are late, no one will mind. There is visitor, handicap and family with children parking in the parking lot accessed by entering the alley running behind the church. In addition to street parking out front, very ample and secure parking is available at the lot on the corner of Michigan and Holly Hills, a little over a block away. The images below can help guide you.

What should I wear?
St. Paul’s truly has a “come as you are” atmosphere. There is no set dress code - even at Christmas or Easter. You're welcome to wear whatever you are comfortable in. Tattoos, Piercings, Mohawks, we love 'em! We believe authenticity is way better that pretence. Wear what you want and be prepared for a variety of styles.
I've never been to a church, am I welcome?
YES! Saint Paul’s is a comfortable place for those who are curious about God. We use a Monitor at the front of the church that helps guide you through the one-hour service. It's user friendly!
I'm gay (Trans, non-binary) am I welcome? Can I safely be affectionate with my partner?
Yes! We are a community of LGB and sometimes T and Q members. We love the diversity within our community and welcome you to be a part of it. Our commitment is to be genuine about who we are. We welcome the same from you!
Can I bring kids to the service?
We welcome children! Joyful voices of all ages participate in our services. A play space is available at the back of church with soft toys and activities.
What accommodations are available for people with disabilities?
St Paul’s is handicapped-friendly throughout our main building including our parish hall and restrooms.
What kind of a church is St. Paul’s?
We are an Episcopal Church in the Missouri Diocese. St Paul’s has been serving the Carondelet neighborhood since 1868. We have a one-hour service comprised to two main parts: word and table. Word is when we read Bible passages from 3 parts of the Bible and hear a reflection (around 15 minutes long) about the texts. Table is when we experience the presence of God through the mystery of the wine and bread that becomes the presence of Jesus to us. We call this communion. Our community is very down to earth and comfortable with mistakes. We tend toward the warmly informal and laugh at ourselves easily. Our worship services last 1 hour.
