It is our desire, our hope, our prayer, our aspiration, that any and all who find themselves within the orbit of St. Paul’s might make deep and abiding connections through our services, our community involvement and our pastoral care – connections within ourselves, with other people, with the planet we share and with the God in whom all things hold together. Our aim is to support one another to live authentically as we seek to respond to the love of God.
As part of the Church of England in the diocese of Ely, we affirm the 5 marks of mission of the Anglican communion (
www.anglicancommunion.org), to tell, teach, tend transform and treasure by committing ourselves:
- To be ready to share our stories with others.
- To be a loving community.
- To express love and compassion for our neighbours.
- To work together with others for just institutions both locally and across the globe.
- To care for creation.
Our building is a thriving community overseen by a dedicated staff. Our inviting foyer and garden, a green refuge on a busy road into the centre of Cambridge, is open to all. The building is used by many different organisations, local, national and international, for celebrations, classes, meeting, conferences and social and cultural events and of course church gatherings.

As a church we are also members of two networking and educational organisations:
Inclusive Church (www.inclusive-church.org) Is a network of churches, groups and individuals uniting together around a shared vision which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate. It encourages the exploration of ways to be more inclusive, including matters of ethnicity, disability, mental health, gender, sexuality, and economic power.
A Rocha UK Eco Church (www.arocha.org) Underlying the work or A Rocha is a biblical faith in a living God who made the world, loves it and entrusts it to the care of humanity. They carry our work cross-culturally in conservation and restoration and work in partnership with a variety of organisations and individuals who share concerns for a sustainable world.
