St. Paul’s is a vibrant and growing church, and the spiritual home to an inclusive and active congregation. Since 1855, St. Paul’s has served the Benicia community through worship, education, outreach, and Christian fellowship.
We worship in the midst of history—but are not its captive. We’re always finding new ways to embrace our ancient mission to love all people and creation. Our roots in the past and our commitment to the present has made us who we are: an historic church for the modern soul.
We rejoice in all those who come to St. Paul’s for prayer, spiritual growth, and service, whether as visitors, friends, or members.
The Message of Jesus Christ We believe in striving to live the message of Jesus Christ every day. At St. Paul’s, we walk the way of love together. Spiritual Growth At any point in a person’s spiritual journey, there are opportunities to learn, grow, and strengthen one’s faith at St. Paul’s.
St. Paul’s welcomes all people at any stage of their spiritual journey to worship together, care for the community, and live the message of Jesus Christ.
At St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, all are welcome and affirmed in the many diverse and wonderful ways God has made us. May you find a home here, and may this be a safe place to encounter God and one another.
Worship is led by our clergy and lay leaders, including our verger, music director and choir.
Free Community Meals (To Go), Mon & Wed 4:30-6pm
We offer traditional hymns from Episcopal hymnals, as well as contemporary music.
Engage in meaningful dialogues about faith, life, and community
Outreach is the work we do that stretches outside our walls and into a world of need.
We have a weekly community meal, a lay ministry, an usher ministry, an altar and flower guild, a back-to-school backpack drive, Christmas gifts drive, 5th Sunday Food Drive, the Peddlers’ Fair, and Sierra Service Project. Take a look and see where you feel your gifts and interests might be put to use! You don’t need to wait to be asked to help out! Please step out in faith and volunteer!
Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. All are welcome at this quiet gathering of prayer, music, and contemplation that makes room for all our sorrows in the midst of this busy season.
Enjoy Christmas music with a performance by tuba, sousaphone, baritone & euphonium players! Taking place at St. Paul's Square, or the Parish Hall depending on inclement weather.
The GVRD will be performing their Christmas concert, free of charge. A suggested donation to the Community Meal Program would be appreciated. The GVRD Symphonic Band begins at 3 PM, and the Jazz Band at 7 PM.
