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!

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
More than a Silver Lining
Father Justin
This Palm Sunday reflection confronts us with the jarring whiplash of Holy Week: Jesus moves from being heralded as King to dying on a cross in mere days. The sermon challenges our modern tendency to search for silver linings in every tragedy, arguing that this impulse actually diminishes the profound reality of suffering. Drawing from Matthew's Gospel, we're confronted with the raw humanity of Jesus crying out 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' This isn't peaceful acceptance but genuine abandonment and fear. The message insists that Christianity offers something far more radical than finding good in bad situations: God doesn't give suffering a silver lining, God reverses it entirely through resurrection. This isn't about quick fixes or positive thinking, but about authentic hope that God can redeem even what seems irredeemable.
FOR BETTER, FOR VERSE PODCAST
Did We Hear That Right?
Fr. J & Dr. J
Justin Crisp and Jewelle Bickel explore the depths of Deuteronomy and Joshua, examining biblical history, theology, and moral questions surrounding divine revelation, the conquest of Canaan, and how justly to organize a whole civilization. Together they try to discern what the divine author, the Holy Spirit, is telling us through the conflicting, confusing (and maybe even confused!) testimonies of the human authors of these Biblical books. This episode offers a nuanced look at Scripture, the idea of divine retribution and punishment, social justice in ancient Israel, and what God thinks of war, violence, and human struggle.
