Our story, beliefs, staff, service times, and location.
Welcome to PaulAnn. We’re glad you’re interested in visiting our church. We seek to bring glory to God and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We hope you join us at a weekend service and consider making us your church family.
Our church started in the spring of 1986 with a few families meeting at the Sunlake Estate Clubhouse. In 1987, the church moved to their current location. Kirt Dauphin was called as lead pastor in 2003 and under his leadership, PaulAnn has experienced rapid growth and change. Today, PaulAnn is a vibrant church touching thousands of lives each month through authentic worship, relevant messages and genuine relationships.
Each Sunday, approximately 1,500 people attend worship services at PaulAnn. We have people in all seasons of life, as well as a wide range of ethnic groups and ages represented in our congregation. The majority of our church is comprised of families with parents aging from 25-45 yrs. of age.
PaulAnn is a very contemporary church that strives to creatively use changing technology in a culturally relevant way to communicate the unchanging Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Because culture changes we constantly change our methods, without changing His message. We want church to be a place that is fun, relaxed and comfortable; therefore, the dress is casual, the music is current and upbeat, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.
We strive to be a Christ-centered church that helps people move to the next level in their relationship with Jesus Christ. From those who have yet to hear the Gospel of Jesus to the seasoned believer… everyone, regardless of their current level of relationship with Jesus, can grow deeper and closer to Him. We exist to help that happen in individual lives.
In addition to our statement of beliefs, we affirm the Baptist Faith and Message.
The Bible is the pure Word of God which is wholly true, inspired and from which nothing can be added or subtracted.
God is one eternally existing in three persons: God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is one of three in the Godhead, coequal and co-eternal. Jesus is God’s unique Son, born of a virgin, sinless in His life, died for our sins, resurrected to life, ascended to heaven. We are justified because of his death, burial and resurrection.
The Holy Spirit is one of three in the Godhead; co-equal and co-eternal who exists in the world today to reveal the fullness of Christ; convicting the world of sin; regenerating, sanctifying and sealing forever those who have been born again.
Salvation comes by believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins.
The Universal Church of Jesus Christ consists of those who have personally believed in and accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and have been baptized into His Body by the Holy Spirit.
