St. Paul's Mission Statement
Our mission is to be witness to our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ lived out in the community of St. Paul's together with the Diocese of Richmond and the Church Universal.

We do this in the celebration of a Liturgy that praises God, increases our faith, and is the source and summit of the community's life.

We do this in the implementation of religious education in word and Sacrament of all in the parish; adults, parents, youth and children.

We do this in the development of a community of believers with a deep sense of belonging to one another and a willingness to reach out to others in a spirt of ecumenism and evangelization.

We do this in the enactment of programs and processes of pastoral care, social justice and charitable assistance; locally, nationally and globally.

We do this in the provision for responsible management of our physical properties and our financial resources.

St. Paul's was Founded in 1804.  It is on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.
