Our ChurchSt. Paul’s United roots are children, family and the love of Jesus Christ. St. Paul’s goes back to 1947 with the creation of the Mission Road Sunday School. It was then that a number of women worked with Rev. Daniel Perley to build a small building and offer Sunday school classes and worship services for the families who lived in the Mission area and other areas outside of Kelowna. Growth in the community results in a new church building being built in 1958 and St. Paul’s United Church being confirmed as a separate Pastoral Charge in 1961. St. Paul’s has continued to experience growth and is still committed to children and families but has added seniors, youth and young adults to its mission of reaching out with the love of Jesus Christ.
Our MissionThe mission of St. Paul's United is to reach out to people with the love of Jesus Christ through our worship, prayer and action.
