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!

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
Night
Father Justin
Many today live by the motto “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” Christianity reminds us, though, that we will all eventually face kinds of suffering that overwhelm and, yes, kill us. And it’s exactly then that God is most liable to intervene. The God of the Bible loves to work at night and under the cover of darkness. From Jacob wrestling with God at night, to Israel's liberation from Egypt in darkness, to Jesus' birth announced to shepherds keeping watch by night, God consistently chooses our darkest moments to reveal His light. He joins us in our night, makes our suffering His own through the night of His cross, and promises that no darkness is so complete that His light cannot shine through it and save us.
FOR BETTER, FOR VERSE PODCAST
The One About Leviticus
Fr. J & Dr. J
In this episode, Justin and Jewelle explore the conclusion of Exodus and the whole book of Leviticus, focusing on the Golden Calf episode, God's loving determination to keep his covenant with Israel in spite of their wrongdoing, the nature of idolatry, the significance of sacrifice, and how we must distinguish between what's universal and contingent, applicable and inapplicable, in the Scriptures. Exodus and Leviticus say God and humanity have a common goal—for humanity to behold the glory of the Lord in God's personal company—and that the complex sacrificial system of Leviticus is a way God provides for humanity to clean up its act (literally!) so that goal can be reached. God's love and God's justice are a difficult circle to square when people like us and a world like this are concerned. Sacrifice and atonement are the solution—one that points us, in the fullness of time, to what God accomplishes for us in Jesus Christ.
