Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church: Your Spiritual Home.

Welcome to Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church! No matter where you are on your faith journey, you are welcome here.

We are a vibrant Episcopal community located in Midtown Ventura. We are one of nearly 150 congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, one of the largest dioceses in the Episcopal Church (TEC), the United States province of the Anglican Communion.

We aspire to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being.

Ministry Highlight! Altar Guild: There is beauty in preparing the elements that will be used in a Eucharistic service. We slow down, mindful that we are preparing the table of our Lord. “As part of my Altar Guild ministry, I often wash and iron the sacred linens. This is a blessed calling. It allows me to spend quiet time with my faith, as I gently rinse each piece of cloth, roll it up in a towel to dry, and then iron it just so. For this task, I bought a special iron —no holes in the sole (soul) plate—to minimize the chance of scorching these precious linens. I am so grateful that St. Paul’s offers us these opportunities to serve in ways that nourish our souls.” - Pam K.

Dear God, As we remember how Jesus was presented as a baby in the Temple, We remember Simeon’s declaration that he is the Light of the World. We have experienced so much darkness within ourselves and within our world. We hunger for your light to dispel the darkness and guide us to life. Increase the small flames you have created in our lives That we might bring your light into the darkness. Amen. #ministry #stpaulsventura #candlemas
