SEEK
SHAPE
SERVE
St. Thomas Anglican Church is a community of leaders and disciples who aim to worship God, follow Jesus, and to celebrate the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. We understand that each person is unique, and so we offer a variety of worship styles, educational opportunities, and ways to be connected. We believe that Jesus calls each of us to live and grow into the likeness of Christ (which means that we model our lives after his).
At St. Thomas you will find sincere people who care about their neighbours and take seriously the call to follow Jesus, to bring light to the world. St. Thomas is a place where barriers are broken, forgiveness and love define us, and God is real.
We believe that God is calling us to seek, shape, and serve . We desire to seek God together in worship, be shaped as disciples through small group communities, and serve a world in need with the gifts God has given us.
