Mission & Ministry

St. Thomas Episcopal Church

Home

St. Thomas Church is a ministry & outreach oriented parish.  We take seriously what we proclaim through our baptism, “The ministers of the Church are lay persons, bishops, priests and deacons.”

God calls each of us to ministry and then equips us for our work!  There are many opportunities at St. Thomas for using your unique abilities. Except where otherwise noted, please contact the church office for details of these opportunities.
