St. Paul's Lutheran School relies completely on the financial support of the parents and congregation members. Parents are required to pay an educational materials fee and tuition fee, which covers a small percentage of the cost of educating a child. The rest is paid for by congregational offerings. Therefore, we also encourage those parents who are members of St. Paul's, to support the entire ministry of St. Paul's with their offerings.
