		Our Message
	St. Paul's Church is a parish in the Diocese of San Joaquin of the Anglican Church in North America. As such, it is a constituent member of the worldwide Anglican Communion, which includes both Catholic and Protestant traditions. We accept Jesus as Savior, and we promise to follow him as Lord. We believe in One God, the Father who created us and all things, the Son who redeems us from sin and death, the Holy Spirit who renews and sanctifies us. We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the Word of God and to contain all things necessary for salvation; and we accept the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds as basic statements of our beliefs.

God's Calling for San Joaquin
by The Rev. Karl Deitz

" . . . exploring what San Joaquin might be looking for: in a new bishop, with new challenges, in a new Province. Ultimately, the big question is not solely about a new bishop but about who we believe God is calling us to be as a diocese and what will that look like . . . ." Bishop John-David Schofield, Convention Address 2009

In Clergy Round Table conversations, it became clear that the Diocese of San Joaquin has an incredible opportunity. As members in the newly formed Province of the Anglican Church in North America, we are no longer bound by the structure and rules of The Episcopal Church. Our new Province, further, has made it clear that it sees itself as a missional body where the primary work of the Church is to, "make disciples of all nations." With that vision come questions: who is God calling us to be and what is our mission?
