Serve

We Serve Together - through St. Thomas and in the wider community, seeking to follow Jesus in works of compassion and justice.

Jesus said that he came not to be served but to serve (Matthew 20:28). Service to others is part of following Jesus. St. Thomas members serve the congregation by leading in worship, teaching children, serving on committees, caring for our building grounds, and taking part in many activities that support our common life. We serve our members by providing care in times of crisis or transition. And we serve the wider community by supporting many outreach partners. Join us as we serve together.

At St. Thomas we take service seriously and offer many opportunities to serve both at St. Thomas and in the larger community. Each year we ask those connected to St. Thomas to make a Ministry Pledge in addition to a financial pledge. This form allows you to look over the variety of opportunities for service in worship, learning, outreach and more. Completing this form will let us know where you’re interested in investing your time and talent.

Some efforts are seasonal and others are year-round. There are opportunities to give time, talent, and money as well as participate in works of connecti…

Training and Background Checks for Volunteers

We promise in baptism to "seek and serve Christ in all persons" and "respect the dignity of every human being." One way we live out these promises is by seeking to create a safe environment for children, youth, and adults who take part in St. Thomas ministries.

All staff, all adults who work with children or youth, all vestry members, and others who make decisions affecting childr…

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

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.

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

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.
