About us:
This church is named after one of the friends of Jesus who had trouble believing in him. The Bible describes Thomas as one of the followers of Jesus who couldn’t bring himself to believe in the power of the resurrected one unless he could touch those wounded hands himself. According to the biblical story Thomas got his wish, but then the Resurrected Jesus told him, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” I think Jesus was talking to you and me.
This is a church that does not ask you to leave your doubts, your struggles, your fears or uncertainties at the door. It doesn't ask you to leave your joys there, either. All we ask is that you come as you are. We’re a group of people who simply want to find a relationship with God, and we come together in this church because our hearts have been touched by that desire. In the person of Jesus Christ, we sense that the fullness of God has been made available to us all.
Every week, we gather at the altar table that stands at the heart of our church to share a simple meal of bread and wine. In that sharing, we believe we are made one people. At our table, we make no distinctions. At our table, we reject the divisions the world uses to categorize and divide people. We practice laying aside distinctions of class or economics, or sexual orientation, or race. Everyone is welcome here as a child of God. And everyone is invited to explore here what that means. In this church, we are practicing God’s hospitality.
