The Vision:

Through His Visionary for the House, Bishop Joseph E. Simmons, God has commanded Greater St. Paul Baptist Church to be a family-oriented Church that follows Jesus Christ and provides an accepting, healing, and teaching atmosphere which empowers those challenged by life’s circumstances.  Our energies and resources are directed toward equipping individuals and families to overcome the social, mental, and other attacks that threaten their well-being.

The Mission:

The mission of the Greater St. Paul Baptist Church is to be a Word-centered ministry designed to evangelize the lost at any cost, equip and empower the people of God, and provide holistic ministry to our community as well as the world. Seeking to minister to the total person, we are multiethnic, multi-cultural ministry impacting the world in which we live with the uncompromising message of Jesus Christ. Committed to the Spirit of Quality and Excellence, we are striving to become an oasis of hope within the Greater Bay Area by promoting and providing education, awareness, as well as financial independence. We believe that God must be worshipped in spirit and in truth.  We embrace freedom in worship because the Word of God says, "...where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17 - KJV).

Our foundation is the Word of God and we believe it in its entirety.  We believe we can do what It says we can do, be who It says we can be, and have what It says we can have
