The St. Paul Outreach Center is a resource for all in our Midway neighborhood!
We want to connect with you—whether you have lived in the Midway area your whole life and your kids are growing up here too, or if you are a new immigrant or a neighbor in need of connecting to household necessities.
Volunteers are members of St. Paul area LCMS churches, schools, and Concordia University, St. Paul.
The primary focus of the St. Paul Outreach Center is to serve and share God’s love with new immigrants to St. Paul and other neighbors in the Midway area, as well as partnering with CSP’s international student ministry.
Could you use English practice or family resources, free music classes?
We want to hear from YOU! Let us know what would be a good fit in our community!

SPOC Pickleball continues! Due to low traffic at this colder time of year, we will be pausing some weekly Friday outreach times. However, pickleball is still offered the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Fridays of each month.
Next date for pickleball is Friday, April 25.
Pickleball nights are hosted at Jehovah Lutheran Church (1566 Thomas Ave., St. Paul, MN). We meet from 6:30pm to 8pm. We’ve had a great time learning the game and meeting new friends. It's a blast! Everyone is welcome! Please share the news and come! We provide gear, lessons, and support. No experience required. Prefer to cheer on the players? Come just to watch and connect!
Text Rachel M. at 651-399-2222 for more info or to let her know you are coming!
