weekly parking brief
Parking on St. Paul's Campus
East-side church entrance closed
Exciting campus improvements coming! | Construction has begun on the east side of our entire campus. During this time the east (park-side) entrance to the church will be closed. While this means we will no longer be able to use the walkway from the park to the church during this time, the improvements will bring many blessings to our campus! Pinnacle will be creating a new drive along the east side, which includes additional parking spaces, required stormwater drainage, and a new entrance and exit flow onto Manchester Road. The project is expected to be completed by December 1, 2025 — just in time for us to enjoy expanded parking and improved access for the Christmas season!Sundays | Construction is underway with parking available on our north lot. For handicapped parking, please reference the parking diagram below.
Monday-Friday 6:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. | Please note that there is no parking at our west entrance (Ballas Road side) on weekdays because the zone is used as a heavy equipment throughway.
