What I love about St. Barnabas!
I love the sense of peace and homecoming that I always find at St. Barnabas - a feeling of true sanctuary. But even more important is the way our community embodies family and belonging. What I love best is our mutual determination to be our best for one another.
- Sarah Bleasdale
When we moved here a year and half ago, we knew we wanted to find an Episcopal church and we tried several in the area and we kept coming back to St. Barnabas because it is just so full of spirit and the worship is fantastic. There's a great rector and a lot of activity going on. So, we're hooked!
- Cleve Callison
When I was asked what I loved about Saint Barnabas, I thought, “Well that’s easy.” The music, the people, the liturgy, the music, the sermons, the pastoral leadership, the feeling of family, the music, and the list goes on!
- Pam Bye
We love the community of St. Barnabas. We have made new friends and deepened existing friendships. Justin's weekly sermons center and uplift us. And we leave each Sunday feeling hopeful. We feel so blessed to be part of such a wonderful and welcoming place.
- Sally and Kirk Bedell
We love coming to St. Barnabas because the people in the church make us feel welcome and included as a part of the community. The music is beautiful, and the sermons are engaging, relevant, and full of encouragement.
- Brett and Elizabeth Wheeler
I’ve been a part of the weekly service at St. Barnabas for 30 years. My granddaughter Skylar has joined me every week the last 4 years. Sunday mornings rejuvenates my faith in God. The kindness throughout the congregation and staff is a gift from God. All this adds to the ease of living in Peace by the grace of God!
The beauty and tranquillity at St. Barnabas we really enjoy!

LATEST SERMON
The Spirit of Forgiveness
Father Justin
This powerful message explores the devastating grip of revenge and the liberating power of forgiveness through an unexpected lens: modern neuroscience. Contemporary research confirms what Scripture has taught all along: revenge operates like an addiction in our brains, providing temporary relief through dopamine while keeping us chained to our pain. In contrast, genuine forgiveness actually deactivates our pain centers and activates our capacity for wise decision-making. The message culminates in the story of Pentecost, where God pours out the Holy Spirit on the very people who betrayed, denied, and crucified Jesus just fifty days earlier. This extraordinary act of divine mercy reveals God's essential nature: His property is always to have mercy. When we choose forgiveness over revenge, we align ourselves with the image of God in whose likeness we were created, and we open ourselves to the Spirit's power that releases us from the past into a future filled with prophecy, visions, and dreams.
FOR BETTER, FOR VERSE PODCAST
God's Heroes?
Fr. J & Dr. J
The books of 1 and 2 Samuel bridge the era of judges and the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. These narratives not only depict the rise and fall of Saul and David but also reflect the struggles of a people seeking identity and stability after years of turmoil. Their significance extends beyond mere historical events; 1 and 2 Samuel invite us to reflect on what it means to listen to God and follow His guidance. Join Justin and Jewelle as they explore how even the most flawed Biblical heroes can teach us about faith, redemption, and what it means to listen to God.
