St. Thomas is part of the larger Episcopal Church. "The mission of The Episcopal Church, as stated in the Book of Common Prayer’s catechism, is 'to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.' In step with that mission, we follow Jesus into loving, liberating, and life-giving relationships with God, with each other, and with the earth."

"As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world. 

We believe that God loves you – no exceptions."  

"The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance."*

*quotes from the website of the Episcopal Church

COME AND SEE …

We are becoming a new and re-formed church, 
the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement—
individuals, small gathered communities and congregations
whose way of life is the way of Jesus and his way of love, 

no longer centered on empire and establishment, 
no longer fixated on preserving institutions,

no longer shoring up white supremacy or anything else that hurts or harms any child of God.

By God’s grace …

… WE ARE BECOMING A CHURCH THAT LOOKS AND ACTS LIKE JESUS.

Bishop Michael Curry
