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.

Feeding the Soul of the City

The Feeding the Soul of the City concert series provides the community with half-hour lunchtime concerts that feature a variety of musical styles, predominantly classical, jazz, and folk/Celtic.  They are held in the St. Paul’s Sanctuary and offer a pleasant and casual respite from the work and school day with music performed in a beautiful setting.

The concerts are free and open to the pubic.  Light refreshments are served for free.  One can also bring a lunch to enjoy before or during the concert.  A few minutes of prayer are held in the church shortly before the performance.

The concert series runs from September through early June (excluding January).  All performances are held from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m.once a month on a Tuesday.  The annual “Festival of Lessons and Carols” is held on a Sunday evening in December. 

Feeding the Soul of the City concerts began in February 2001 as a memorial to local musician John Robert Welsh.  They continue today as a donor-supported concert series.

For more information about the concert series or to make a donation, please contact St. Paul’s.
