St. Paul’s By-the-Sea is launching a Low-Barrier Shelter Initiative to bring our unhoused neighbors inside. This effort will create a safe, welcoming space where every person is treated with dignity and compassion. With community support, we can ensure that no one is left outside.

BRING OUR PEOPLE INSIDE

At St. Paul’s by-the-Sea there is room for everyone. We celebrate the presence of all our members, visitors, and friends regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, spirituality, education, or income. We work hard to bring attention to diversity and inclusion in everything we do.

Come Join Us!

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.

History & Architecture.

The history of St. Paul’s by-the-Sea closely parallels the history of Ocean City itself. In 1878, just three years after the first hotel opened on the island, Episcopal church services were held at Congress Hall on the site of the present-day inlet.
