    Parking on St. Paul's Campus

    • East-side church entrance closed
      Exciting campus i      mprovements coming! | Construction has begun on the east side of our entire campus. During this time the east (park-side) entrance to the church will be closed. While this means we will no longer be able to use the walkway from the park to the church during this time, the improvements will bring many blessings to our campus! Pinnacle will be creating a new drive along the east side, which includes additional parking spaces, required stormwater drainage, and a new entrance and exit flow onto Manchester Road. The project is expected to be completed by December 1, 2025 — just in time for us to enjoy expanded parking and improved access for the Christmas season!

       

    • Sundays | Construction is underway with parking available on our north lot. For handicapped parking, please reference the parking diagram below. 

    • Monday-Friday 6:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. | Please note that there is no parking at our west entrance (Ballas Road side) on weekdays because the zone is used as a heavy equipment throughway. 

  • Dining Fundraiser at Dewey's Pizza: Oct. 14

    Tues., Oct. 14 | 4:00-9:00 p.m. | Deweys in Kirkwood

    Eat pizza, raise dough! St. Paul's MomCo motherhood group is hosting a dining fundraiser at Dewey's in Kirkwood and will earn 20% of sales on dine-in or carryout orders; please mention MomCo's "Giveback Night" (and for online orders, enter "GBN" in order notes).

    Cornerstone Laying | Sunday, Oct. 26  

    • The congregation is invited to join in procession after the late service for the ceremonial laying of the cornerstone, including placement of a time capsule, in our new Saints Hall center.

    "Worst WurstFest" | Sunday, Oct. 26 | Noon | Volunteer

    • Much has changed since our first Reformation Sunday festival, the Brat & Pie Fry. With limited gathering space in 2025, is this the worst idea? No, construction can’t stop community when Christ is our cornerstone and compass. (When our new facilities open in Q2 2026, get ready for the best WurstFest!)  Join us for meals and mingling in Fellowship Hall and the lobbies, including brats, sauerkraut, pretzels, root beer, dessert, music, and more.
    •  Volunteer to help at the event or to bake cookies.

  • VOTERS' MEETINGS: NOV. 2 & 16

    Christmas Shoeboxes | Fill and return by Sun., Nov. 16

    Send a Christmas gift of hope around the world! Operation Christmas Child collects and distributes shoeboxes filled with gifts, supplies, and the message of the Gospel in a 12-lesson Bible study to children in need in 150+ countries. Complimentary empty shoeboxes are in the narthex. Our goal this year is to fill 500 shoeboxes! Three ways to help:

    1. Shop and Fill a Shoebox
      Suggestions | How to pack | Start with one "wow" item such as a doll, large toy, soccer ball/pump, toy truck, stuffed animal, or musical instrument. Then fill in with items like markers, crayons, a toothbrush, puzzle, rump rope, stickers, Yo-yo, Frisbee, binoculars, hat, and more. 

    2. Donate | Write a check to St. Paul’s, or donate online, with the notation “shoeboxes.”

    3. Build Online | Build a shoebox online, or make an online donation to Samaritan's Purse.

Parking Impacts

With the construction of our new ministry facilities, we are adapting to significant parking changes due to construction zones, trucks, and building materials on campus. 

  • Parking limitations are temporary; when construction is complete, full parking capacity will be restored. 
  • Carpooling is encouraged.
  • For worshipers with mobility challenges, we hope to prioritize use of the 86 remaining campus parking spaces
  • Passenger drop-off is available at the west lobby entrance, with a new temporary exit created.
  • Extra parking is available at Edward Jones, the Village Bar, and at the north-end Schnuck plaza lot.
