St. Paul’s sponsors a Canterbury Club for area college students and young adults. This ministry has been foundational for many students who were living on their own for the first time in their lives, often far from home and family. Some of these students followed a call to ordained ministry because of their association with St. Paul’s and others have deepened their calling as faithful people in the world.
St Paul’s has offers study space and a meal from 4-8pm on Sunday evenings. The volunteers cook and host these evenings. The Rev. Diana Rogers serves as the dedicated staff person in this ministry. Diana has oversight of the ministry and responsibilities in the area of campus relations, scheduling, pastoral care, volunteer care, and resourcing.
