In addition to our nursery for children first grade or younger during church services, St. Paul provides educational opportunities for children of all ages beginning with 3-year olds in a pre-school Sunday School class.

Sunday School

Classes for children ages three years through high school are taught by members of St. Paul who volunteer their time and talent. The curriculum is Bible and lectionary-based, using various ELCA-sourced materials.  Students adopt social service projects, helping those in need.

First Communion
Instruction in First Communion is offered to children in grades 2-5. Classes are scheduled on four Sundays, one each month, from January through April. Parents attend the classes with their children. First Communion is celebrated in May during worship service.

Confirmation
The rite of confirmation marks the completion of a two-year period of instruction in the Christian faith, beginning in 8th grade,.  In addition to Sunday School sessions, classes meet with the pastor several times in preparation for underscoring God’s action in the affirmation of baptism.
 

Summer Bible Day Camp
We provide a one-week Summer day camp program for children entering kindergarten though 5th grade.  Camp is conducted by the staff of Cross Roads Camp, assisted by youth and adult helpers, from 9:00am through 3:00pm.

St. Paul Lutheran Church has an incredible youth program.  Our goal as a youth organization is to grow in faith, fellowship

and fun.

We participate in service  projects, fellowship events, church-based activities, and retreats. We enjoy being together as a group, sharing our faith with one another, having a great time and getting the chance to meet other youth groups throughout the New Jersey Synod. The Youth Group is for St. Paul Youth from Grades 6 - 12.

The purpose of the Social Ministry committee is to fulfill the Gospel, with the help of our congregation, by assisting congregation members and their families with identified needs, as well as providing requested support throughout our local and wider community.  These efforts may include donating funds, collecting needed items or hands-on assitance.

Our Women's Ministry includes monthly meetings of our Women's Book Club.

Seniors are welcome to join our in-person and online Adult Education programs.  Online programs are conducted via Zoom, which requires the use of a computer or smart phone.
