Saint Paul's United Methodist Church - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

We offer several different services each week.

Celebration Worship
The celebration worship service is a reflective time of joy and the meeting of souls seeking to know and follow Jesus Christ. You will find an encounter with God in prayer, songs, and preaching.

Traditional Worship
This worship setting includes the eternal Word in preaching, prayers, hymns of faith, the ministry of music in the Sanctuary choir, handbell choirs and offerings of praise directed toward and inspired by God's grace in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Contemporary Worship
God's Spirit is full of life, love, hope and faith - the excitement and joy of a new tomorrow lived today. The energy and praise of this worship experience comes from God's Spirit working in concert with our spirits - raised to God along with our hands and voices. "SpiritSong" leads us in our praise to God as God's Word is shared, deepening our lives so that we have meaning and purpose. Come and share in the new life that God gives today.
