Families

“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” – Matthew 19:14

The children of Saint Thomas Church are valued members of our parish community. Through our Episcopal tradition we seek to build an abiding knowledge and love of God in our parishioners’ earliest years, which we hope will develop good soil for the seeds of faith to grow throughout each child’s life.

All children are welcome to join us, simply complete our registration form. We are excited to announce that in-person Sunday nursery care and Sunday School gatherings will resume for the Fall. Email us if you would like more information.

If you have any questions about what you find here, do not hesitate to our Associate for Children and Families Mother Turner.
