St. Paul Vancouver

About this church

St. Paul Lutheran Church worships Sundays at 10 a.m. at 1309 Franklin Street in downtown Vancouver, with Zoom participation available. The service opens with singing, then follows a historic Christian liturgical pattern through Scripture, sermon, hymns, intercessory prayer, and weekly Holy Communion open to everyone. Dress is unrestricted, coffee is usually available before events, and fellowship follows worship. Free weekend street parking surrounds the building; an accessible entrance between the church and outreach center leads to an elevator, with doors on Franklin and from the alley off Fourteenth Street.

An ELCA parish organized in 1902, St. Paul is a small congregation whose large downtown building supports a wide network of care. Its Christian day care serves about sixty children. In winter, the church partners with local organizations to provide food and overnight shelter for twenty-four men, and women make thirty to fifty quilts annually for Lutheran World Relief. The congregation also supports the Clark County Food Bank, FISH, and Friends of the Carpenter; FISH operated from St. Paul for forty years before moving in 2015. Homebound Communion, Wednesday Bible fellowship, and long-running community groups reinforce the church's mission of inclusive worship followed by service.
