We are an open and genuine people on a journey of authentic faith. We believe that our purpose for being a community is to co-create, with God, a community where everyone can feel welcome -- and be welcome exactly as God has made us all to be -- especially LGBTQIA+ people who so often struggle to find a welcoming community of faith. If you are looking for a welcoming community and are committed to building a community that is welcoming to all people, please join us on the journey. Every Sunday at 10a, for either Holy Eucharist or Morning Prayer, we gather in community to renew our commitment and to be strengthened for the work of building a welcoming community. Every month, on the second Saturday, from 10a to 12n, our Diapers, Etc. ministry welcomes families from South Kalamazoo County (Michigan, USA), who are in need of diapers, to receive 60 diapers, of the appropriate size(s), and related supplies, for all of the young children in their family.

Worship at St. Barnabas is the center of our spiritual life and we gather for the Rite II contemporary Eucharist liturgy or Rite II Morning Prayer. St. Barnabas has Holy Eucharist or Morning Prayer services each Sunday morning at 10:00. Our talented music director leads our singing with highly-experienced organ accompaniment. After the liturgy, join us for coffee fellowship. Inclusion is one of our most important values and we celebrate that inclusion in all aspects of parish life — we welcome all people regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, sex, and ability.

Donation Coordination/Distribution

One of the ways we share the love of God that we enjoy with the community around us is by giving diapers to babies in need, free of charge. Diapers, Etc. is currently open on each second Saturday of the month from 10 AM to 12 Noon at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church and, as of June 2017, we are now providing TWO WEEKS of free diapers (60 diapers of your child’s size)!

Those wishing to donate to this ministry may do so through St. Barnabas Episcopal Church with a clear indication on the donation that it is for “Diapers, Etc.”. Although all donations are appreciated and immediately given to the community, we ask that you call the church (269.327.7878) to schedule delivering material donations rather than bringing them to diaper distribution days. Further, as we have access to wholesale pricing and other reduced-cost options, your donation can be used most efficiently if it is given as money rather than as a material donation.
