Are you seeking a church home? We are a warm and welcoming community seeking to grow in grace as we eat, work, and learn together. Holy friendships happen here! We invite you to join us at one of our four weekend services, meet the Rector and staff, worship, and share coffee fellowship with us.
 

Alternatively, why not attend one of our groups such as Bible study or our Fiber Arts ministry (a knitting group)? Many of us first developed friendships in relaxed settings such as these, long before deciding to attend community worship. It is not necessary to join the parish to participate. All are welcome in our community.

Parking

Our more agile parishioners usually opt for on-street parking on Sunday mornings, leaving the lot adjacent to the church open for our visitors and people with limited mobility. Spaces in the drop-off loop are reserved for those with handicap permits.

Should the lot be full, ample parking is available on Highland Avenue and nearby streets.

All Are Welcome

Our Welcome Guide ministers will greet you upon arrival, and they are your best guides to entry into the life of the community. Whether you are ready to learn, to serve or in need of support – the volunteers at the red doors of the church can be your guides. Stop by before or after worship services year round to meet with a member of this dedicated team. They are eager to help you, and have timely program and service listings to help you get connected.

​

During worship, you’ll hear our pastor remind us that everyone is welcome at St. Thomas. That especially includes during Holy Communion. No matter your Christian tradition, all who come in faith are welcome and encouraged to commune with us.
