“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
— Matthew 5:16
In addition to worship and growing in faith, we strive to be a community that shares God’s love by serving our neighbors. With God’s help, our ministries make an impact in Falls City, around the state of Nebraska, and even across the globe!
In 2023, St. Paul’s partnered with local businesses and organizations to raise funds for the installation of a handicap accessible merry go round at Pioneer Park across the street from our building.
Local Ministry
Some of our local ministry includes:
Hosting an annual Fall Community Benefit Supper for a local cause
Providing our annual home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner, including take-out and delivery.

We support local service organizations through periodic collections for things such as food, clothes, winter items, and so on.
We partner with the Falls City Area Ministerial Association (FCAMA) to support a community Helpline to assist neighbors in need. The FCAMA also works together for various community projects and community worship opportunities.
