Saint Paul's by the Sea

The first step in learning about membership at St. Paul's by-the-Sea is to speak with Father David. He can also advise you on how to take instructions for baptism, confirmation or reception.

Usual requirements for membership:
· If you are a member of another Episcopal church, you will need to request a Letter of Transfer from that parish. Our church office can help you do this.
· If you are a baptized member of another Christian church, your certificate of baptism (if available) should be sent to St. Paul's by-the-Sea. To be enrolled as a member, you will be asked to take instructions and, as appropriate, to be confirmed or received into communion by a bishop of this church.
· If you have not been baptized with water in the name of the Holy Trinity, you will be guided on taking instruction leading to baptism.
