This church is massive. It definitely deserves the name of a shrine…read more The altar is in the center of the church and the pews all jet out from every end of this central altar. You can definitely see the altar at any seat in the building, even upstairs on the balcony. The only difficulty is if you're not facing the main altar, as the priest often will face out one way. The church is the most beautiful during Christmas. It's always well decorated and filled with poinsettias and Garland, streamers and lights everywhere. The other downside of this church is that it's so massively huge, but it does not feel warm and welcoming. I will often go to this church for Easter and Christmas, because if it's close proximity to my house. For regular Sunday visits I will often go to other smaller churches, that feel more comfortable and cozy. Still every time I'm inside of this church in a few, I'm always struck and in all of the interior design and structure of this Shrine.

The worship consisted of traditional hymn-style songs with a reverent and structured tone. The music created a reflective atmosphere that encouraged congregational participation and focus on biblical truths. During my time the sermon was about rediscovering Jesus's true identity and rekindle your relationship with the Good News of Christ. The Pastor shared his own journey of progressing away from a rewards-and-punishments type of thinking towards understanding God's love at a deeper level than he had before. The pastor explained that God's love gives you and I salvation and hope for everyone on this planet, that we are God's beloved children and he also used Matt. 13:31-32 to help us see how Jesus' kingdom continues to grow and develop all over the Earth. One area of the sermon that I found to be of disagreement or of Biblical inaccuracy was how the pastor viewed the Bible at times as a political document rather than as a Christ-centered document; however, the overall message was clearly about Christ.

My family and I are members at St. Paul's and we love it there, it feels like seeing our family every Sunday. Each of the the 3 Pastors at St. Paul's have their Masters Degree in Theology, so you know that they know their stuff (there are a lot of "Pastors" out there who don't). There are a lot of opportunities to get involved in other things outside of church, especially for families and parents with young kids. They have a Pastor whose sole focus is on Youth Ministry, which is awesome for families with current or future high school/college students. Outside of church, the parochial school is one of the best in the area. Our oldest is in preschool right now and she absolutely loves it. The teachers and staff are amazing, and the school itself is nationally accredited. Each classroom is small enough that each student gets the personal attention you'd want, while having enough students to have rock solid athletics and music programs that can hang with the best in the Livonia area. There's a student tuition discount for the school if you're also members of the church, so if you're "in the market" for both, St. Paul's is an excellent choice. There are also a number of options for financial assistance for families on a budget. Don't think you can't afford it! St. Paul's can work with you to make it work, financially. If you can't tell - We highly recommend St. Paul's!

There is also 3 different age group rooms of free childcare so the adults can enjoy church services without the distraction of their little ones, but instead keeping them busy and having fun teaching them in the children's rooms about the word of God so they can start to understand and have their questions answered that they start to ask! Great first experience and we will be back again next Sunday and for some of the other many gatherings and get together they have going on. Highly recommend checking them out!
