St. Thomas’ is a vibrant and growing church grounded in Scripture and enlivened through worship, education, and outreach. As followers of Jesus, we are engaging in a life-long and life-wide journey of faith that blends the beauty of tradition with the call to seek God in new and modern ways. The people of St. Thomas’ take seriously the call to respect the dignity of every human being as we strive to be a house of prayer for all people. We recognize that each person is a unique and precious gift from God and are grateful and enriched when they find a home within our faith community.
