OUR PHILOSOPHY


​Maybe you think of faith and fitness, body and spirit, as two different things, but we at St Paul see them inseparably intertwined!  Psalm 139 tells us that our bodies are “fearfully and wonderfully made” gifts, “carefully woven” together by God.   And the Apostle Paul says that our bodies are “temples of the Holy Spirit.”  Think about that: your body is sacred space!   As such, we are called to care for our bodies with utmost respect.   “You were bought with a price,” Paul tells us.  “Therefore, glorify God in your body.”

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, St Paul would like to help you get fit, make friends, and have fun as you are strengthened in Body and Spirit!   We offer affordable fitness opportunities for all ages and abilities taught by qualified, professional instructors.  Our goal is not simply to offer classes, but to form caring communities of spiritual encouragement, recognizing that we are all on a journey to wholeness with one another and God!
