About
Rev. Paul Barrett
Rev. Paul Barrett has been Lead Pastor of St. Peter’s by the Sea since 2014. His childhood ambition was to be a part of something that would change the world. Paul thinks the church can be just that. Paul shares, “As the Church, we are wonderful and we are flawed, and yet in all things we strive to be faithful to Jesus and his call upon our lives. That call invites us to offer ourselves as a loving presence to and for this world that God so deeply loves. None of us can do it alone, but let’s see what we can do together.”
People inspire Paul. He’s humbled to do what he does because he has the unique opportunity of being invited into sacred spaces of people’s lives. Paul comments, “It is a great privilege to experience and learn from people’s stories. Sometimes I hear stories of where God is present, tangible and alive with them. Other times, as I listen, I am able to point out where I see God tangibly present with them when they cannot. People and their stories inspire me. Anywhere. Anytime.”
