greetings from our senior pastor
We are glad you are here! St. Paul’s United Methodist Church offers a welcome to everyone, regardless of who they are, how they identify or where they find themselves on their faith journey. St. Paul’s has a rich history of being a “cathedral for the city” with opportunities to learn, join in worship and build new spiritual practices. We are not only a place of faith formation, but faith transformation to join hands in building the world God intends. Through this website, I hope you are able to learn more about the numerous opportunities St. Paul’s offers for children, families, youth, and adults of any age to use their gifts of time and service. I look forward to seeing you soon!
Rev. Dr. Jeff McDonald
Senior Pastor
Upcoming Gatherings
Music & Fine Arts
St. Paul’s traditional neo-Gothic structure, with its excellent acoustics, is home to a vibrant array of vocal, choral, and instrumental music in worship and concerts. The church enjoys a rich musical life in the Anglican tradition through the highly-acclaimed St. Paul’s Choir, St. Paul’s Choral Scholars, children’s choirs, and other programs.
Led by Rev. Nataly Negrete, Fe y Esperanza (Faith and Hope) is a Latinx community connected with St. Paul’s.
Educating the hearts and minds in an inclusive community grounded in the Christian values of respect, integrity and humility is the mission of St. Paul’s School. We hold the child in the highest regard as we nurture curiosity and creativity, social connections and self-awareness in a play based environment.
Led by Rev. Dr. Bill Kerley, this unique forum encourages people to deepen an awareness of who they are, develop relationships with others, grow in spiritual intelligence, and make a difference in the world.

Our Vision
To be a cathedral for Houston that embodies its diversity, inspires faith, and leads change for the common good of all peoples and communities.
