Who We Are

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 a place for knowing Christ and making Christ known.
  • We are a congregation that seeks, welcomes, and values all people. We are a diverse community that delights in all who walk through our doors.
  • We are a home where friendships form across different ages and backgrounds.
  • We are a church where beautiful worship leads us to create a more beautiful world in God’s image.
  • We are a community of learning that is open to new ideas while being grounded in scripture and history.
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!

At St. Thomas, we focus on worship, Christian formation for all ages, care for one another, and service to others. We hope you will find a place to belong at St. Thomas. We are glad you are here!

Good News from St. Thomas. Where have you seen God at work in the pandemic and in this season?


Staff & Clergy

By virtue of Baptism, we are all called and equipped by the Holy Spirit for ministry through the Church and in the world. Our staff leads ministries of worship, formation, service, community, administration, and hospitality to help St. Thomas members grow in love for God and demonstrate love for neighbor.

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.
