Worship is the heart of our Christian life. We gather as Christian community --people united in Christ. This is the one opportunity each week for thewhole community to join together. We worship God through our LordJesus Christ. We open ourselves to divine presence. We open ourselves todivine grace, forgiveness, and guidance. We celebrate what God throughChrist has done for us. We do this in the strength of a gathering of brothersand sisters united by their common loving bond in Christ Jesus.

St. Paul's United Church of Christ is poised for development; the foundation is set for a time of rejuvenation and rebuilding. Set in the strong community of Gerald, Missouri, the church appeals to a strong body of Christians who are faithful in their worship and in their support of the church. The church school is taking on a new look in order to appeal to a greater number of children and to do a more effective job of educating the children of the community in the Christian story and the Christian values.

The church values a strong traditional worship service that lifts the spirit and speaks to the spiritual needs of the worshippers as well as inspires their life contributions to the cause for which they are called by our Lord Jesus Christ.
