Welcome to
Saint Barnabas's
Memorial Episcopal Church
We hope we can lead each other to God through a life of prayer and work as Christ's hands and heart in the world. We believe in the ministry of all the baptized and, though we trust and are blessed by the ministry of our clergy, we know each one of us is called to ministry through our own baptisms.
Some people come to us from other Episcopal churches but many come into our doors looking for God, with no formal church background. Many come, too, from other churches and we seek to welcome all and to help with spiritual journeys at any step along the way.
We are a welcoming community - all are welcome no matter what race, age, or sexual identity. Children are always welcome here at worship or at any of our activities - we love to hear their chatter during the service!
The worship of Jesus Christ on Sunday mornings is the core
of who we are.
Find out when we gather for worship, the heart of Saint Barnabas's.
Our church offers a wide range of
ministry opportunities.
Whether you'd like to learn more,
pray more, or serve more,
we have a ministry for you.
Making an offering of our financial resources is an integral part of what it means to be a Christian. We have a variety of ways to make it easy for you to support our church.
