Play
St. Paul's is a family and a place that you are always welcome. Join us after Sunday services for coffee hour or at a parish event. Meet people, make friends, and remember that you belong at St. Paul's.
Love
St. Paul's values the many talents of the people that serve and attend St. Paul’s. Ministries and Guilds are a great place to have fun, make friends, and to belong.
Worship
At St. Paul's, worship is the main event; it is what brings people back week after week. We celebrate the promise that God made to all by sending his Son, not to condemn, but to love.
Connect
St. Paul's is located in downtown Muskegon, but more than that, St. Paul's loves downtown Muskegon. Evangelism allows St. Paul's to meet its neighbors, build connections in the community, and bring hope to the city that we love.
Discover
St. Paul's invites you to go beyond Sunday worship, to create a stronger relationship with a loving God. Join a Small Group or a Christian Education class to dig deeper, love stronger, and accept forgiveness.
Give
We express generosity in many ways. I was made aware of this when I read about different modes of giving in a church newsletter from Trinity Church, Wall Street, in New York City. There are four concepts of giving: charity, philanthropy, fund-raising and stewardship.

Meet the Rector

Greetings,

My name is Michael Fedewa. I began my tenure as rector of St. Paul’s in November of 2018.

I have been married to Linda since June of 1984. Linda is a nurse and works for Cherry Health in Grand Rapids. We have three sons: Michael, Ben, and Jacob. Michael and his wife Megan live In Tuscaloosa, Alabama. They have a daughter, Charlotte Grace. Ben and his wife Emily live in Oakland California. Our youngest son Jake lives in Livonia.

We have a dog, Lady.

I have been ordained since 1981. I have served parishes in Battle Creek and in Lockport, New York. In December of 2017, I retired as rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Grand Rapids. I had served as rector there for over 25 years.

When I retired from St. Andrews I was only 62 years old, so I knew even as I retired that I would continue in ministry. When the part time position at St. Paul’s was open, I knew it was the sort of position I was interested in.

Because Linda works full time at Cherry Health, we still live on the north side of Grand Rapids. I typically come to Muskegon on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

I love the Episcopal Church for the radical hospitality we try to offer. I love the beauty of our liturgy. I treasure the relationships I have with members of our congregations and our diocese.

I do love to walk early in the morning, fish, travel, play cards and read. I love West Michigan, and having lived most of my life in Michigan I do love baseball and the Tigers.

I’ll post some pictures on occasion.

Blessings,

Mike
