St Paul is an enormous Church in downtown Abilene, Texas. It is a beautiful place to visit and the pastor gives great sermons. I would definitely recommend this church if you are looking for some spiritual guidance. I am not a member but I have visited a couple of times and the people there are so friendly and kind. My daughter has sung in their choir which includes many beautiful singers. The congregation made me feel very welcome and comfortable. If you have not visited Saint Paul Church, I would definitely recommend a visit.

I watch your service every Sunday and have for the last year +. I am a 24/7 caregiver for my husband and 92 yr old mother so I can't attend a service. I enjoy Felicia's ministry very much. She tells it like it is, honest and sincere. She preaches the truth. Reminds me of the old time preaching I grew up with. Blessings to your ministry. One question..did the elder organist retire and is he ok? God Bless

The church staff there is awesome like the Presbyterian church and Edgewood (Abilene Service Center). They aren't two faced like the church goers that attend first baptist church.
