St. Thomas' Episcopal Church is an inclusive and diverse Christ-centered faith community in the Episcopal (Anglican) tradition. We come from many different backgrounds and perspectives, sharing a common commitment to growing faith and love of God and neighbor. We are dedicated to knowing about Christ and making him known.
St. Thomas' is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, the largest diocese in the country. There are over 189 congregations serving under the leadership of Bishop E. Mark Stevenson. We are a middle-sized Episcopal church.
No matter your age, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and no matter where you are on your faith journey, we welcome you and invite you to participate fully in every aspect of our parish life.
We seek to be a compassionate presence in our neighborhood and at large, deepening our own faith and experience through the welcoming of newcomers and service of the poor, the hungry, the young, and all seeking wholeness of life and spirit.
