Rev. E. Paul Emily
Pastor

Rev. E. Paul Emily was called as pastor of St. Luke’s United Church of Christ in February of 2015. He brings with him over thirty years of experience in ordained ministry. His ministry has included congregational settings and health care chaplaincy. Paul is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Blue Mountain College in Mississippi and holds a Master of Divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He finds the United Church of Christ to be a great fit for the ministry to which he is committed as a pastor. His focus is facilitating the work of God’s transformation in the lives of those with whom he ministers. He utilizes his pastoral care training in the care of the members of his congregation who face issues of crisis, life transitions, aging, death and dying. Making the message of scripture relevant and applying faith to daily living are aims of his ministry. Two of his favorite theologians are Dr. Seuss and Walt Disney.
