Who we are
We are a vibrant community in the heart of the city that strives to live and serve according to the purpose God has ordained for us.
We do this by rooting ourselves in the Bible, the written witness to God’s presence among his people. We believe that this written witness directs us to Jesus Christ, who is the living revelation of our heavenly Father. It is this same Jesus who enables us to connect to God through his saving grace, and through his gift of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that God is present and active in his creation; God not only hears but also responds to prayer. Through prayer we strengthen our relationship with Him, learn to recognize his voice, align our spirits with His, and call His healing and transformative power into particular situations.
Then, with a firm footing in God’s Word and discerning spirits responding to God’s guidance, we serve our community according to the needs we encounter and the strengths of the congregation.
Through sound biblical preaching and study of the Bible we feed our minds, through prayer we feed our spirits, and through service in His name we condition our bodies. This threefold cord binds us to God and to one another.
All are welcome in this house of worship. There are no perfect people here; we who worship together are bound by our common need of grace and forgiveness which can only be found in Christ.
Peace and joy,
Rev. Mikal Schomburg
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.
Speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.
(Ephesians 4:4-6, 15-16)

IMPORTANT NOTICE PLEASE READ!! All church activities suspended for 3 weeks.
Our Elders met this morning (March 15 following service) to discuss the escalating Coronavirus situation. After much consideration we have decided that all church activities at St. Paul's will be suspended for the next three weeks. We will be regularly monitoring advice from health officials and our national church and will make a decision whether to extend this fallow period as the situation unfolds.
Though our corporate worship is on hold, we are still a community dedicated to worshiping and serving God- remember those at home, check in with each other regularly, lift one another in prayer, and hold fast to your identity as witnesses in Norfolk to the transforming love of Christ.
Peace and joy,
Rev. Mikal Schomburg

St. Paul's Presbyterian Church History
JABEZ COLLVER
PART ONE!
In this area, Presbyterians have had a continuous history since 1793. Rev. Jabez Collver, a native of New Jersey, had been ordained there without the benefit of theological training - he learned his profession by following it. He must have been a man of great physical vigour and mental force, because at the age of 64 years he decided to face the hardships of pioneer life in the wilds of Canada, having been promised grants of land in Norfolk County as a United Empire Loyalist. His wife Anna and seven sons and one daughter accompanied him with their own families. He built the first log cabin in Windham Township and it served as a manse or church as the occasion required. The county was only forest then but with a small number of settlers, and he formed a Presbyterian congregation the year of his arrival in 1793. Submitted by Jean Aitken
JABEZ COLLVER
PART TWO!
As settlers arrived in this area, Jabez Collver visited them on foot (or snowshoes), in a saddle, or in a rough cart. A huge cow-bell on the old mares's neck gave notice of his approach and enabled him to find her when he was ready to start out again. He received no pay for his labours, but was content to share a settler's frugal meal, and even sleep on a shake-down on the floor. Tradition says, however, that once at least, his people presented him with a fine linen shirt, which was likely made according to Dutch-American custom from the type of linen provided by women of the congregation for the communion service. He continued preaching almost to his death in 1818 in his 88th year. He and his wife and family were buried in what afterwards became Old Windham Churchyard. His parish was "the wilderness"; his reward the Master's "Well done". Submitted by Jean Aitken

Empower me
Empower me to be a bold participant, rather than a timid saint in waiting; to exercise authority of honesty, rather than to defer to power or deceive to get it; to influence someone for justice, rather than impress anyone for gain; and by grace, to find treasures of joy, of friendship, of peace hidden in the fields you give me daily to plow.
