St. Thomas' Episcopal Church-a special place- Teaching and challenging all to be Christ to one another, Embracing all of God's children, and Casting the Lord's net into all of Wharton County
Looking forward, we at St.Thomas' see ourselves:
In Outreach: Every member of St. Thomas’ is actively supporting (Stewardship) hands on ministries and other outreach efforts in Wharton County, nationally, and internationally. We support ministries to seniors, the home-bound, and our Thrift Shop. St. Thomas' sponsors an annual signature event like a Fall Harvest Festival or an Easter Carnival.
With Children and Youth: St. Thomas' children’s and youth ministry are vital, growing, exciting and fun. A program where our children and youth with their families are shepherded into opportunities to develop as disciples of Jesus. We seek out opportunities to join with other denominations, churches and educational institutions to provide a rich experience for all involved.
With Adults: There are multiple events and programs to engage adults and to connect with each other in fellowship, Bible study, and Sunday school. These programs provide opportunity to invite newcomers and neighbors to experience the Love of Christ.
In Worship: St. Thomas’ provides a traditional, corporate, Episcopal (BCP) worship experience where we unite ourselves with others to acknowledge the holiness of God, to hear God's word, to offer prayers, and to celebrate the sacraments. We are open to creative liturgies for special services or occasions.
In Growth: Through intentional efforts of invitation and incorporation of newcomers and existing members, St. Thomas’ is growing in all age groups and ethnicities. In response to this growth, improvements and additions are made to the campus.
