Board of Elders
The Board of Elders serve alongside the pastor to nurture the spiritual well-being of the congregation. They support worship services, address concerns following biblical principles, and encourage members in their faith and church involvement. Elders also help coordinate guest speakers, oversee ushers, and ensure a worshipful atmosphere. Additionally, they identify and respond to the needs of the sick, elderly, and those facing hardships. Above all, elders seek to lead by example, modeling Christian faith and service in all they do.
Board of Youth & Family Education
The Board of Youth and Family Education strives to foster the spiritual growth in the life of the individual Christian adult and youth. The board works to strengthen the Christian home by providing learning opportunities for all age levels. This includes Sunday school, vacation bible school, National Day of Prayer and other youth and adult activities. The board provides guidance to the youth and family director, Sunday school teachers and other volunteer church workers.
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees are in charge of the maintenance, repairs, and upkeep of St. Paul around campus, both indoors and outdoors. The goal is to ensure a safe and beautiful campus for church members, school students, and staff. The board occasionally hosts volunteer events for cleaning, gardening, and other kinds of beautification at St. Paul.

Board of Social Ministry
The Board of Social Ministry attempts to serve the congregation by fulfilling their needs such as providing meals when requested and sending monthly notes to our shut-ins. We honor our confirmands and graduates with gifts and send “Care Packages” to our college students and young military. We give grief baskets to mourning congregation members, and, on a brighter note, decorate the church for Christmas. We always sponsor a Christmas type charity: This year, as last, it will be “Gifts for all of God’s Children”.
Board of Evangelism
The Board of Evangelism plans, promotes and carries out evangelism programs which expand our influence and presence in the community. We engage members of the congregation and school to help with activities that draw people and families to our campus such as Trunk ‘n Treats in October and the Easter Fair in the Spring. Opportunities to witness and serve are the Family of God Mission in Detroit, Detroit Christian School of Excellence, various events at Allen Terrace Senior Housing and planned domestic and international mission trips. At St. Paul we invite members to serve as Sunday greeters and in our Welcome Center to help provide a friendly welcome to our members and guests.
