Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble. Book of Common Prayer, p. 298.
All people of all ages are invited to the waters of Baptism. Some come to Baptism as infants, sponsored by parents and Godparents, who make the vows of Baptism on their behalf. Some come as adults, marking a mature, public commitment to Christ. In Baptism we share in our Baptismal Covenant, and at every Baptism the entire congregation renews our commitment to this Covenant. Baptism is usually offered at the Easter Vigil (on the night before Easter Sunday), Day of Pentecost, All Saints’ Say, and the Feast of Baptism of our Lord (the first Sunday after January 6). Additional times may be scheduled if needed. Contact the church office or the rector if you wish to schedule Baptism for yourself or a member of your family.
We are a church of loving, committed and searching Christians who value diversity and cherish the gifts of young and old alike. We welcome ALL God’s children into our sacramental community, respecting the dignity of every person as we are called to a ministry of reconciliation and inclusion. You are welcome here as God’s own.
Like the apostle Thomas, we encounter the risen Christ in our lives together and find ourselves transformed.
We invite you to worship, learn, and serve with us!
We know finding a church can be hard. We were all new to St. Thomas once, so let us tell you a little about ourselves.
We are named for the apostle Thomas, whose life was changed when he encountered the risen Christ. His confession of faith, “My Lord and my God,” is printed above our altar.
Like Thomas, we encounter the risen Christ in our life together and find our lives transformed. We invite you to worship, learn, and serve with us.
St. Thomas was founded in 1958 and is a congregation of about 400-600 people. A few folks have been here for a long time, but a lot of us are newcomers! Some of us grew up as Episcopalians, some of us came from other Christian traditions, and some of us have no religious background at all!
It is easy to join St. Thomas as a member. Just tell us you want to belong, and we'll enroll you as a baptized member of the congregation. If you've never been baptized, contact Rev. Grace to schedule a time for Holy Baptism. We look forward to being in touch with you.

For a one-time gift, you will be asked to load a form of payment to be debited when you make your gift. You can log in to your St. Thomas Member Portal account to give or view past gifts.
2024 will be a memorable year for St. Thomas. We hope to complete a renovation of the nave which will make it possible for all to gather at the altar rail and for all to sing with the choir and serve in worship. We are making these changes because of our commitment to love EVERY person.
As we Love God, Love Every Person, and Learn and Serve Together, St. Thomas seeks to BE GOOD NEWS to our community - living the good news of God’s loving embrace and ongoing work to heal our broken world.
What part will you play in being good news in the life of St. Thomas over the next year?
