What I love about St. Barnabas!
I love the sense of peace and homecoming that I always find at St. Barnabas - a feeling of true sanctuary. But even more important is the way our community embodies family and belonging. What I love best is our mutual determination to be our best for one another.
- Sarah Bleasdale
When we moved here a year and half ago, we knew we wanted to find an Episcopal church and we tried several in the area and we kept coming back to St. Barnabas because it is just so full of spirit and the worship is fantastic. There's a great rector and a lot of activity going on. So, we're hooked!
- Cleve Callison
When I was asked what I loved about Saint Barnabas, I thought, “Well that’s easy.” The music, the people, the liturgy, the music, the sermons, the pastoral leadership, the feeling of family, the music, and the list goes on!
- Pam Bye
We love the community of St. Barnabas. We have made new friends and deepened existing friendships. Justin's weekly sermons center and uplift us. And we leave each Sunday feeling hopeful. We feel so blessed to be part of such a wonderful and welcoming place.
- Sally and Kirk Bedell
We love coming to St. Barnabas because the people in the church make us feel welcome and included as a part of the community. The music is beautiful, and the sermons are engaging, relevant, and full of encouragement.
- Brett and Elizabeth Wheeler
I’ve been a part of the weekly service at St. Barnabas for 30 years. My granddaughter Skylar has joined me every week the last 4 years. Sunday mornings rejuvenates my faith in God. The kindness throughout the congregation and staff is a gift from God. All this adds to the ease of living in Peace by the grace of God!
The beauty and tranquillity at St. Barnabas we really enjoy!

LATEST SERMON
Priceless
Sunday, October 13, 2024
Father Justin
Father Justin takes a look at one of Jesus’ hardest sayings, that it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for someone who is wealthy to enter the kingdom of heaven. What seems, at first, to be a legalistic jeremiad turns out to be a word of grace. Jesus’ culture esteemed wealth as a sign of righteousness, or good behavior, and Jesus doesn’t think the love of the one he called “Father” is contingent on our righteousness at all. Love isn’t the sort of thing that either money can buy or good works can earn. God loves us just because God loves us, because we have made us His children in Jesus Christ. Money is good and helpful, but the things that really make life worthwhile are priceless.
