St. Paul Website Mission Purpose
The St. Paul Lutheran Church Internet Web Site has been created as an outreach communication medium into our community. This web site provides information about our church including worship and study opportunities, what we believe, special events, youth programs, fellowship programs and opportunities, church committees and their function, and community outreach. Our intended audience includes (a) those who know little about St. Paul and who are seeking information about our church, its beliefs and its programs, and (b) congregational members who may need specific information about programs, committees or current activities.

Website Privacy Policy of St. Paul
The following is the website privacy policy statement of St. Paul Lutheran Church regarding all non-secured pages of our website. Exceptions to any provisions of this policy must be approved by the St. Paul Communications Committee.

1.    The privacy of St. Paul members and the protection of the identity of our children are of utmost concern.

2.    We will not list private addresses, phone numbers, or e-mail addresses on the website, unless expressly requested to do so by the individual(s).

3.    E-mail addresses on our website will be generic in nature such as a committee or organizational name. Internal to the website such e-mail may be redirected to a committee chairpersons (or designee’s) personal e-mail address.

4.    Photos of congregational activity including images of children will be limited to group shots preferably from behind (back side of the group). Photos of identifiable individual children appearing on the website must have parental permission prior to posting of the image on the website.

5.    At the beginning of each Sunday School year a permission request form will be distributed to all congregational members who have children requesting parental permission to post images of their child/children on our website. (available in the forms page)  A file of these forms will be maintained by the Communications Committee and every effort will be made to restrict images of children on our website to only those whose parents have given the church permission to do so. At no time will a website image of a child include their name or any other identifying information.

6.    Adults who appear in images on our website may be identified by full name. If anyone requests that an image of themselves or their children be removed from the website, the web master will make every effort to comply with such requests within 7 days.  Such requests must be in writing preferably using the following webmaster e-mail address
