About St. Paul’s

“A House of Prayer for All People”
These words, carved in stone over the front doors of St. Paul’s, set the tone for who and what you will find inside. As much as our neo-gothic nave and historic organ might speak to the artistry, history, and grandeur of our worship, St. Paul’s is about people.

We are a diverse and inclusive community, serious about faith, and passionately seeking to follow Jesus in God’s mission of making all things new. Our mix of backgrounds, neighborhoods, and opinions gives us a breadth of custom and curiosity, tradition and innovation. We believe diversity makes us a stronger Body of Christ, where love and humility are more important than the need to agree on everything. To borrow a phrase from a friend, St. Paul’s could be described as traditional in liturgy and progressive in inquiry. Our common life is joyful, elegant, relevant, and committed to drawing in and sending out.

St. Paul’s is privileged to have a beautiful campus and a fabulous facility. On any given week you will find one of our many remarkable Outreach programs meeting to train their volunteers, or host a dinner for participants. You may also find Enneagram classes, EFM training, Faith and Justice conversations, book groups, knitting classes, a local organization hosting a fundraiser, or the youth group meeting to build Legos. There is always something going on at St. Paul’s, and the community remains a hub for gospel ministry in Winston-Salem. We would love for you to join us.


Applying

To get the conversation started, please send your resume (or C/V), sample portfolio (including examples of written and design work), and a letter of interest to The Rector, care of the rector’s executive assistant Betsy Reiners ([email protected]) by Friday, February 15, 2019. We will review materials as they arrive but will respond only to qualified applicants. Thank you. We’re already praying for you.
