Serve at Church

We believe that faith is not a spectator sport and want folks to discover their place in ministry based on their spiritual gifts, life experiences, and passion for ministry!  Periodically throughout the year, we offer small group classes to help members identify their spiritual gifts and then use them.

In the meantime, there are many ways to get connected and be a part of what God is doing through St. Thomas -- whether it's through our food pantry, greeting on Sundays or siging in one of our choirs.  There is something for everyone. To learn more, please contact the church office to help find the right fit for your gifts and your schedule.
