St Paul’s Church

Rector of St Paul’s Church - Craig Ryalls

“Sarum St Paul’s School and St Paul’s Church continue to benefit from the close link we have developed over the years. We have a shared commitment to see pupils flourish spiritually as well as intellectually, physically and socially,” Craig Ryalls.

As your local church we play an active role in the life of the community. Supporting Sarum St. Paul’s Primary School is a high priority for us; there have been strong links between the School and St Paul’s Church for many years. A number of our Church members, including myself, are Governors of the School. Every week a member of the church staff team leads a collective worship based on the school’s curriculum and pupils and staff always welcome us enthusiastically. Our Church Building is always made available for the school wherever possible for special services, such as the Year 6 Leavers' Celebration and Christmas Services.

St Paul’s Church is a vibrant, fun, contemporary place of worship with excellent child/youth work. Visitors are always made very welcome. Do visit our SP2 Coffee Shop and Community Centre (we built it for you!) and check out our website to see other ways we help our local community. We run a variety of courses and also partner with other churches in Salisbury offering a national debt advice Centre called CAP(Christian’s Against Poverty). If St Paul’s Church can help you in any way or you simply want to find out more then please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Craig Ryalls,

Rector of St Paul’s Church

Children's Pastor - Debbie May

Debbie leads collective worship each week as well as our Discoverers club. The club meets weekly and focuses on different Bible stories and involves games and craft activities. Debbie is also one of our ELSAs.

"The school’s partnership with St. Paul’s Church is very strong and has a significant impact on school life. The church investment in a full time Children’s Pastor brings deep benefits to children and families."

Diocesan Advisor September 2018

"Collective worship was observed, it was led by a visiting member of the parish church team. Collective worship was engaging and invitational. Pupils clearly enjoyed the dynamic quiz activity, learning a new praise song and were equally engaged during quiet times of listening and praying. Worship was invitational, with no compulsion to prayer or sing and was inclusive, enabling all to participate without barriers."
