"Our Mission is to celebrate all people as children of God, believing that diversity should be met with respect and love. We seek to provide our children, youth and young adults with a meaningful spiritual foundation to guide them as they grow and mature in their lifelong faith journeys.
Discovery Kids is a Sunday gathering for children aged 3 to 10. It is a time for the children to gather together and enlighten their young minds to the values of our Christian tradition. We join in song, play, story, crafts, games, and more. All children are welcome.
Every summer, we hold a ‘Camp’ at the church. 2025 was filled with all the good things we associate with a Summer Camp ~ lots of activities including stories, games, music, snacks and great fun.
One grandparent’s comment “What a wonderful week they had … we could certainly tell by their shouts of laughter, beaming smiles of pride with crafts produced and the friendships they made.” Looking forward to 2026 “Room For All”

Discovery Kids Pew – Sanctuary Kits! “We are getting ready for summer at St. Paul’s! Once again I want to say a huge thank you to those who will be filling in for me during my break in July. Thank You Shaun, Lois, Peggy, and Karen! I am sure they will bring some fresh perspectives and lovely messages. During the summer our Discovery Kids program also takes a little sabbath. In the meantime, there are some “Sanctuary Kits” available for children on the Discovery Kids pew. There are some books, some colouring/drawing utensils, and a couple of quiet toys. Enjoy!” – Rev.
