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 Awesome and the Artificial
Father Justin
As we face a future where AI can provide advice, comfort, and even religious guidance, we must ask ourselves: are we settling for the artificial when the awesome is available? The church's mission isn't to compete with chatbots in dispensing therapeutic advice, but to facilitate genuine encounters with God that change lives. In Jacob's dream at Bethel, a ladder connects heaven and earth. Jacob's response upon waking, 'How awesome is this place,' becomes the key to understanding spiritual experience. Sometimes when we encounter beauty, whether in nature or worship, the experience stares back at us, demanding change and commitment. This isn't just aesthetic appreciation; it's an encounter with the Lord. This message calls us, and the church, to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised, grounded in knowing we are uniquely loved, made for relationship, and called to moral agency and aspiration.
FOR BETTER, FOR VERSE PODCAST
Two (or Three?) Isaiahs, One Hope
Fr. J & Dr. J
In their latest episode of For Better, For Verse, Justin and Jewelle dive deep into the complexities of Isaiah, exploring its dual narratives of judgment and consolation. From the prophetic words that have shaped our understanding of the Messiah to the rich context of its writing, there’s so much to uncover! One of the most significant aspects of Isaiah is its messianic prophecies, which have been interpreted in various ways throughout history. These themes highlight the expectation of a savior and the transformative nature of divine intervention, culminating in the image of the suffering servant who bears the iniquities of others. Unlike earthly rulers, this figure embodies humility and selflessness, and through him, God establishes a new covenant after which His righteous anger departs from Israel, Judah—and, in the fullness of time, all humanity. Isaiah’s messages of judgment, comfort, and hope speak powerfully in every age.
