Open Arms is Moving Back to Our Largo Campus

09.22.26 | News | For Pinellas | News: Give in Love

    This year we had issues at our Clearwater Campus facility that caused us to close Open Arms for several months. As the cost of repairs and maintenance at this facility continues to rise, these issues have become a distraction to the ministry's work. Because of this, we’ve decided that the best way to support Open Arms and serve our community is to move the ministry back to our building here in Largo. This will also allow us to connect the people we serve at Open Arms more easily with the other things we’re doing at St. Paul, whether that’s worship, ways to grow in faith, or other ministries. You can watch the video for more of the reasons why this decision was made. The most important thing to take away is we are committed to continuing the important work Open Arms does for our community, and we believe this will be the best way for the ministry to move forward and continue its work.

    If you have any additional questions we encourage you to reach out to the church office or fill out a Connect Card.

    WORK DAY

    We plan to host Open Arms Ministry in the storage area next to the Treehouse, which has its own entrance for Open Arms clients and food deliveries. To make this possible, we will need to move the supplies that are currently stored in this area and do some cleaning, so we will be holding a work day on Saturday, October 3 from 9 AM to noon. If you're physically able to help, we hope you'll join us as we work to clear this room and prepare it for Open Arms. Thank you for all you do to help support Open Arms! We are committed to continuing its important work in our community.
