St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church is a small church with a long history. When one talks about St. Thomas’, the word “oldest” keeps appearing: It is the oldest operating church in Hunterdon County; among the oldest Episcopal church buildings in New Jersey; and the 12th oldest congregation in the state.
St. Thomas’ building has changed very little over more than two centuries and the area around it is still rural, almost completely surrounded by cornfields. The interior continues to delight visitors with its mixture of white walls and sparkling glass, with the natural beauty of the outdoors framed by the high arch of the altar window. A simple wooden cross and white spindles are the only adornments of the altar area.
