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. We are committed to continuing this ministry's important work in our community.
Thank you to everyone who came to help clear the rooms and for all you do to help support Open Arms! We will let everyone know about future opportunities to help with the move.
