If you would like to learn more about St. Paul’s Church and our involvement with the ministries below, please contact us. We’d be happy to answer your questions and connect you with the people in charge of these ministries.
2025 Rwanda Mission Trip
St. Paul’s Church has a long-standing relationship with Bishop John Rucyahana and Transformational Ministries (TM) in Rwanda, which includes ongoing financial support of this ministry. Bishop John and TM have a wealth of experience hosting mission groups like ours. In November, 10 SPC members traveled to Rwanda on a life-changing trip!
Global Causes We Support
Transformational Ministries
From the very beginning, St. Paul’s Church has been connected with the Anglican Church of Rwanda. We were planted under the jurisdiction of PEAR USA (the American branch of the Rwandan Church) and we continue to be dedicated to walking with our brothers and sisters in Africa.
We support the Anglican Church of Rwanda both financially and through prayer.
Operation Christmas Child
SPC is blessed to be able to participate in Operation Christmas Child each Christmas season. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Servants for Sight
Servant for Sight’s mission is to follow the model of Jesus by bringing hope and healing to our communities through preventative and restorative eye care. SPC supports this ministry both financially and physically with volunteers.
Missionaries Around the World
Zach & Noelle Slagel
Zach, Noelle and their four children spent nearly eight years serving cross-culturally in Cambodia through church planting and counseling alongside their growing family. For the last five years, they lived in Albania where they led a house church and provided soul care to global workers living in the Balkan countries of Europe. The Slagels have returned to Cambodia to serve the Anglican Church in pastoral ministry and spiritual formation.

Mike and Ellen Myers served the Lord through the Diocese of the Carolinas by planting The Gathering Church, an Anglican church in Spartanburg, SC. Their mission is to be disciples who make disciples of Jesus Christ as they seek His Kingdom together.

“Therefore don’t judge anything prematurely, before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the hearts. And then praise will come to each one from God.” 1 Corinthians 4:5 HCSB
