Genevieve baker,

church secretary

Genevieve grew up at St. Paul's and has faithly served as our church secretary.  She is now working on her 19th year. With so much going on at St. Paul's, she keeps a steady pulse on our congregation and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone stays informed and everything runs smoothly. Out of love and in service to Christ and His church, Genevieve has participated in or held key roles in almost every ministry here at St. Paul's. Sporting a friendly smile and welcoming countenance, she is our very own "go-to" girl. She is also our "g-of-all-trades" by her willingness and ability to cheerfully fill in when and where a need exists.
