Ways to Give
Reasons to Give
St. Paul’s has been serving the greater Flint community at the intersection of civic and spiritual life for generations. Our parish building is a community asset — welcoming all, offering a safe space, and providing a center for the community to gather, grow together, and partner with those who serve the common good.
More than a century ago, the vision for St. Paul’s was for it to be a place in which faith and personal efforts would advance social justice, child welfare, and economic equality. We are all stewards of this vision of more than a century ago along with the structure of St. Paul’s that has been entrusted to us.
Our structures, programs, and services have all been made possible by the generous gifts of parishioners and friends of St. Paul’s – gifts of time, talent, and treasurer. There are many ways to give, and we invite you to learn about each of our initiatives and consider making a gift to ensure that St. Paul’s remains a vibrant community resource for generations to come.
Stewardship
God calls us to care for one another by offering our time, our abilities, and our financial blessings. Every act of giving strengthens our mission to serve, teach, and share Christ’s love with those around us.
At St. Paul’s, there are many ways to give. Each opportunity invites us to practice faithful stewardship and support the ministries God has placed in our care.

Special Assistance Funds
St. Paul’s Assistance Program
The St. Paul’s Assistance Program helps extend Christ’s love to our neighbors in need. Small financial grants can help keep food on the table, heat in the house, or provide for a medication necessary to heal when experiencing an unexpected life challenge such as an illness, reduction in work hours, or loss of a job.
The Assistance Program Application can be found here
Crossover Outreach
In 1991, St. Paul’s joined with three other parishes and founded Crossover Outreach to ensure members of our community had access to food, clothing, personal items, and household essentials during their most vulnerable and challenging times. After more than three decades, St. Paul’s continues to be a partner. We donate food for the annual Thanksgiving dinner, provide gifts for children at Christmas, and sponsor children to attend camp.
