From Our Pastor

Welcome to Saint Helen! We are so glad to have you join us in worship and fellowship. We hope that you will feel at home among us and find a place where you can grow in your relationship with God.

I encourage you to find a LifeLine or ministry that you can be a part of, as we believe that being a part of a community is an important part of one's spiritual journey.

We look forward to getting to know you and walking with you on your faith journey.
