My St. Thomas Story Video Project | St. Thomas Episcopal Church

We are planning a video project later this year to help share the St. Thomas story more widely, and we need your help. Use your smartphone’s camerato shoot a short video. Aim for 30-45 seconds per question. Answer just one or all three!

Why are you a part of St. Thomas?
Why have you chosen to follow Jesus?
What do you wish people knew about your faith community?

TIPS FOR A QUALITY VIDEO:

Hold your phone horizontally (landscape), not vertically (portrait).
Stand close enough to the camera to frame your video from the shoulders up. We’d like to see your face clearly!

FILM YOUR STORY:

Find a comfortable place to shoot your video. This should be somewhere in which the light source (sun, lamp, window, etc.) can be behind your camera.
Use your smartphone’s camera app to shoot your video. Aim for 30-45 seconds per question. Answer just one or all three!
Text or email your video to [email protected] stthomascolumbus.org. If you need help with this let us know!

Contact the church office if you'd like someone to film you!

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!

Welcome! We're delighted you've decided to join St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Columbus, Georgia. We look forward to being in touch with you.

Contact Patty in the church office at [email protected] with questions.

We invite gifts for our Continuing Faithfulness Capital Fund. Significant roof and HVAC maintenance will be needed in the next few years, as well as routine maintenance on the nave windows. We are building up this fund in order to be ready to address these needs as they arise. If you are able to make a gift above and beyond your annual pledge, consider giving to this fund.

The pet memorial garden is a garden for the remembrance of our beloved pets. It provides a permanent resting place for the pets who live on in our memories and in our hearts. It is a place to give thanks to God for the companionship of beloved animals and to commit ourselves to care for all of God’s creatures. Engraved bricks are arranged in the garden around the cross. Engraved bricks are available for purchase as a permanent way to remember your pet. The fee covers, the brick, installation of the brick, maintenance of the garden, and a donation to PAWS Humane Society of Columbus, Georgia.
