Nursery

We love to hear the sound of children in worship, and we also recognize sometimes parents need a break. We offer professionally staffed nursery care for infants and toddlers through the age of 4, and invite you to stay with them until they feel comfortable. Our ushers will be happy to show you to our professionally staffed nursery. The nursery is available on Wednesdays and Sundays.

    Erin Redden

    Director of Children’s Formation & Parish Life

    Erin has been a member of St. Thomas since 1996. While working on her B.A. in Music Education (Columbus State), it was her passion for music and liturgy that brought her to the Episcopal Church as a staff soloist and Children’s Choir Director.

    Erin earned her MSEd (Troy State) in Instructional Leadership and has been a music educator for over twenty years. She enjoys using her educational and leadership experience to develop Christian Education programming and faith-filled experiences for “kids” of all ages. Her mission is to answer Christ’s call as outlined in the Baptismal Covenant and to proclaim God’s love for all people.

    Erin is married to Roger, a music educator who serves St. Thomas as a musician. They have two adult children, Madison and Hugh.

    Welcome I'm New Who We Are Joining St. Thomas Covid-19 Protocols

    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.

    I'm New

    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!

    Who We Are

    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.

    Joining St. Thomas

    The pandemic taught us a lot about preventing the spread of disease when we gather. Read the current practices at St. Thomas by clicking on the button below. Our Vestry reviews and updates these each month.

    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.
