Ministries

St. Barnabas is committed to worship as a ministry and a lifestyle. St. Barnabas reflects a traditional flavor with a friendly manner. There are many ways to be involved in Sunday morning worship at our church.

Music is in the DNA of St. Barnabas! We have excellent music staff that leads adult and youth choirs, a handbell choir, and special events throughout the year.

Strengthening Parish Life offers clubs, fellowship groups, outings and church-wide events. These activities let us get to know one another, strengthen the bonds of our parish family, and enrich our faith. It helps make St. Barnabas a place for all members to feel involved, supported, and respected.

The Communication Ministry at St. Barnabas is dedicated to creatively sharing the events and ministries of our church with our members and the greater community.

Today’s children are the foundation of the future. St. Barnabas accepts all children as God’s creation, welcomed by Jesus as unique in origin and special in abilities. Children will be taught the foundations of the faith, the traditions of the Episcopal church, and how to apply these in their lives.

We offer Sunday School classes (including a Godly Play program for Preschool through 3rd grade), Holy Communion classes, Summer Camps, and social events.

The organizations St. Barnabas serves inspire us all to take action unselfishly in our community. Programs such as Findlay Street Neighborhood House, Habitat for Humanity, Interfaith Hospitality Network, Matthew 25 Ministries, and Operation Give Back are just some of the programs served by St. Barnabas.

The SPOD exists to assist the Rector and Vestry as needed with mid- to long- range planning or projects that pertain to the growth or organization of the parish.

The Newcomers Ministry is to provide support to people who are new to St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, starting at your first visit and along the way as you become more involved in church activities.

InReach works within the framework of the ministry of Jesus Christ to provide care to those facing life's spiritual, emotional, and physical challenges. Using church and community resources, this ministry responds to real-life needs through lay-led care teams supported by our rector. We offer confidential compassion in times of need as well as creating a web of multi-generational support to all of our members and their families.

The Building and Grounds ministry creates and maintains an appealing, comfortable and safe environment for the congregation, as well as visitors and guests.
