St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is a Walnut Creek parish whose local roots begin with the first Episcopal service in the community in 1887. The historic redwood chapel now hosts a 7:30 a.m. Sunday Rite II service, while the 9:30 service meets in the church with Holy Communion and streams through the parish website, YouTube, and Facebook. A healing service with Eucharist meets Thursday at noon in the chapel. The parish describes Episcopal faith as centered on a loving, liberating, life-giving God and carries a longstanding commitment to inclusion across sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

Visitors may follow the printed bulletin without already knowing Episcopal responses or postures, and fellowship with refreshments follows worship in the Parish Hall. The church and chapel have hearing loops for compatible hearing aids. The public FAQ also addresses parking, accessibility, children, Communion, and the flow of liturgy, while the calendar covers music, Christian formation, pastoral care, retreats, and outreach. The parish’s history spans its 1888–89 chapel, 1944 transition from mission to parish, current-campus development, pipe organ, nursery school, food pantry, and the formation of several neighboring Episcopal congregations. Public information should be checked for seasonal choir and education changes. The retained pages do not give one fixed service length or dress code, and visitors with specific mobility needs should consult the detailed campus guide.
