In this episode, we sit down with Eva Groppe, a retired teacher from St. Paul Lutheran School, to reflect on God’s faithfulness in past and present building projects. Eva shares her personal experiences from 29 years of teaching and how St. Paul’s facilities have evolved to serve the congregation and school community. From the early days of a small fellowship hall to the construction of the Family Life Center (FLC) and now the new school wing, we explore how thesespaces have strengthened ministry, education, and fellowship.
Eva provides historical context, shares personal stories, and emphasizes why investing in Christian education is vital. Through it all, we are reminded that these buildings aren’t just structures—they are here to help us share the name ofJesus Christ.
