Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Commission (JPIC) 

JPIC strives to be an advocate for those who have need extra voices that speak in their behalf. In this endeavor, JPIC serves to strengthen and deepen discipleship by maintaining a spiritual voice and forum for active Christians to speak out about the problems Iowans face. In all this JPIC works to make the Church’s voice heard in an economical and efficient manner commensurate with the talents and resources of the Commission and the possible actions they believe deserve our attention. 

In September 2007, The Rev. Anne Scissons was called to be the new Vicar of St. Paul’s. Rev. Anne served in Burns, Oregon as the Rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, the Pastor of Peace Lutheran, ELCA, and Mission Developer for Church of the Living Waters, a mission church of the ELCA on the Burns Paiute Reservation.

In addition to the Sunday service, St. Paul’s does a community meal for the neighborhood and the homeless. While St. Paul’s is a mission church of the Diocese, we use our funding to do mission in serving God in the homeless and the marginalized peoples in need in this city. We do outreach through organizations in which many are members.

Beijing Circles are a tool which can help us educate ourselves and one another about the issues affecting women globally and then to advocate within our church and the world to bring about positive change. The Beijing Platform for Action was created by a UN gathering of women from around the world and set in the context of Christian faith and addresses Millennium Development Goal #3, "Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women."
