About St. Paul's Church
Founding
Surf Club
Garden Club
Groundbreaking
We started St. Paul’s in 2011 in the conference room of the beachside Surf Club Hotel. When the hotel was torn down, we relocated to the Indian River Garden Club. Then a series of miracles enabled us to build our church on Flamevine Lane just steps from the beach.
We are not defined by buildings, but by our relationship with Jesus, our commitment to one another and to bringing Christ to the World.
3 Pillars
Children
Jesus loves children and so do we. We feel called to raise up the next generation to know, love and serve Him.
Healing
The Lord wants to heal us – body, soul and spirit. So we lay hands on the sick and pray “be healed in Jesus’ Name.”
Missions
We believe in Jesus because someone left the comforts of home to share the Gospel with us. The torch is now in our hands so off we go!
