Service & Outreach

Located just steps from the famous Ocean City boardwalk, St. Paul’s By-the-Sea enjoys strong ties to the local community. Five days a week our community kitchen is open and serving hot meals to anyone in need. Four days a week our food pantry is open and providing canned and baked goods to anyone in need. All are welcome and there are no qualifications. On the 3rd Wednesday of the month, we host a Community Dinner for even more fellowship.
