Higher Steppers
Enjoy faith and fellowship with this women’s small group. What started as a “walking” group has turned into a sweet circle of Christian women supporting and loving each other in a Christ-like way.

Whether at someone’s home or at church or at a local park, Higher Steppers provides outreach and support to our home-bound members.

Music
Let’s make a joyful noise together! St. Paul’s Choir sings at the Traditional Service at 11 am on Sundays except during the summer months. The Fishers provide contemporary Christian. Our Joyful Ringers Handbell Choir provides beautiful music periodically throughout the year. Each group meets weekly. If you would like to more information about any of these opportunities, we’re eager to chat!
Pop-up Food Pantry
Sykesville Food Pantry – Building Community Together – For 5+ years, our outreach ministry has helped strengthen connections within our church and throughout our neighborhoods. We invite you to join us on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month from 9:30 a.m. to noon as we serve others and build community together. We can also use assistance picking up and delivering supplies during the week. We welcome volunteers, as well as food and monetary donations, to support this important ministry. Every contribution helps us meet growing local needs while sharing fellowship, compassion, and God’s love with others.
