Become a Member

Because we welcome people wherever they are on their spiritual journey, we welcome new members following their first visit, or after they have attended St. Thomas' for years. We hope you will take a moment to learn more about our beliefs at St. Thomas' and how we are helping people connect more deeply with God and each other. Then below find the steps you can take to become a member of St. Thomas. If you have questions, please complete the form at the bottom of this page and a member of our staff will be in touch.

  • Welcome Card

    If you’ve been baptized and want to make St. Thomas your church home, here are the next steps:

    Step 1: Register your baptism with St Thomas. We accept the baptismal rites of all Christian churches as the real thing; we never “re-baptize” anyone. Let us know when you were baptized and your previous church home (if applicable).  

    Step 2: Attend Newcomers Social. This course, led by St. Thomas' clergy and shepherds is held frequently throughout the year. The goal of the class is to help you connect with the St. Thomas' community and the Episcopal Church. Get to know clergy and members of the congregation! 

    Step 3: Attend the Newcomers Class. This course, led by both St. Thomas' clergy and lay members, is held frequently throughout the year. Each class begins with a tour of the church, followed by lunch and discussion, including information on the Episcopal Church, St. Thomas', and how to become a member and get involved!   

    Step 4: Participate in Welcome Sunday. This is an opportunity to celebrate, recognize, and pray for those in the New Members’ Class during an upcoming Welcome Sunday.  Following the service there will be a special reception.   

    Note: If you haven’t yet been baptized, you can sign up for the New Members’ Class, during which the clergy will share more about baptism in the Episcopal Church.
