Welcome to St. Thomas Episcopal Church, a warm, inviting community committed to deepening Christian faith and fellowship.
St. Thomas Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Scripture, tradition and reason are often described as the three cornerstones of our faith.
St. Thomas' mission is based on the Great Commission given by Jesus in Matthew 28: 18-20: To receive God's love inwardly, to show God's love outwardly, and to take God's love forward.
We invite you to experience the St. Thomas' promise.
Welcome

Each Friday in Lent at 6 pm, we will trace Jesus' journey to the cross by following the Stations of the Cross located along the portico. The Stations offer the chance for us to make a spiritual pilgrimage of prayer as we meditate on the sufferings of Christ. The liturgy of the Stations leads us from station to station meditating at each on an event on the last day of Jesus' life. For more information on the Stations of the Cross, please visit http://www.crivoice.org/stations.html.
Hearing God in the Top Forty
For many of us, the veil between heaven and earth is never so thin as when we are listening to good music. "Hearing God in the Top Forty" will be a special service in which we discover much that is sacred in songs that are usually viewed as "secular" or apart from the holy. This service will have a vast array of hit songs from the past five decades so it will appeal to music lovers of every age. Be sure to join us Sunday, March 21st in the Parish Hall at 10 am and afterward at the Parish Picnic.
