SAPUCC is proud to partner with Interfaith Action of Greater St. Paul.

Interfaith Action's mission is "to harness the power of thousands of motivated volunteers from diverse faith and spiritual communities to relieve the effects of poverty and address its root causes."

St. Anthony Park UCC is one of their "anchor congregations." As such, we:

+ provide volunteer school tutors as part of their "Opportunity St. Paul" program

+ assist with "Community Power-Ups" in the Selby-Dale neighborhood

+ collect back-to-school supplies for their annual "School Tools" donation drive for children and youth from low-income families

+ support the Department of Indian Work food shelf with donations of non-perishables and financial support

+ prioritize fiscal support of Interfaith Action in our annual budget

+ and Pastor Victoria actively participates in Interfaith Action's Clergy-Civic Leader round-table breakfasts

Each season, Music in the Park Series presents a series of chamber music concerts at the acoustically and architecturally superb Saint Anthony Park United Church of Christ, "home" to the series since 1979. This intimate setting makes possible a connection between performers and audiences that cannot be duplicated in larger halls and offers listeners a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the richest and most varied forms of musical literature. Through imaginative and varied programming, traditional chamber music, jazz, new compositions, and popular music are all available in a context which links rather than separates them. It is this special quality about the series that draws composers, performers, and audience members alike to the Church.

For decades, Music in the Park Series and The Schubert Club collaborated on artistic projects. In July 2010 the organizations merged to become one. Music in the Park Series is now part of The Schubert Club, and it continues to flourish under their leadership.

St. Anthony Park UCC is in partnership with Keystone Community Services. Headquartered in St. Paul's Merriam Park neighborhood, Keystone provides crisis assistance to people in need of rent and deposit assistance, household utilities, and car repairs. They also have 3 local food shelves that serve thousands of people every year. Keystone provides these services to residents of a particular service area in Ramsey County. The Keystone staff determines whether a person in need is eligible to receive services through their agency. St. Anthony Park supports Keystone financially and makes referrals to them.
