We welcome and accept individuals and families of diverse forms.

We embrace all people seeking new or renewed relationships with God or a healing spirit of belonging in a loving parish where we are known.

Vision Statement 

St. Thomas of Canterbury is an Episcopal parish centered on the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ.  We commit ourselves to be a caring, diverse congregation that grows by:

• Welcoming all people

• Reaching out to our surrounding community

• Ministering to those in need

At St. Thomas of Canterbury our mission statement speaks to the inclusiveness of our community... a church where all can encounter the living God. We welcome individuals and families that reflect the diversity of God’s Kingdom and share our vision of faith.  We embrace all people seeking new or renewed relationships with God.  We offer a healing spirit of belonging in a loving parish where all are known.  We are an Episcopal parish where sharing the Eucharist is the central spiritual activity, which outweighs the importance of agreement on some of the finer points of doctrine. We are a mixed group encompassing new and long-term Episcopalians as well as converts from other churches and faiths. We welcome people of all ages with their varying needs and interests.
