St Paul’s is deeply committed to sharing the good news of Jesus with others, through our individual witness, our church programme (with a particular focus on outreach every autumn) and our support for a variety of mission partners.  We give at least 10% of our annual income to mission work in this country or overseas, and also demonstrate our support through prayer, personal involvement and practical help.

Our current mission partners:
