COME WORSHIP WITH US!

Who We Are

We name ourselves after St. Barnabas, a New Testament apostle. He was called "Barnabas", meaning "son of encouragement", because he joyfully shared the "good news " of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He faithfully supported the work of the Church with his talents, prayers, and offerings.

Identity Statement

St. Barnabas Lutheran Church is a part of the Body of Christ and a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The source of our life together is the Word and Sacraments, celebrated in our worship.

St. Barnabas celebrates Holy Communion every Sunday morning at 8:30 am and 10:00 am (summer hours). After each service coffee, juice, and baked goods are served (usually in the Fellowship Hall, but currently out back while we're under construction). 

St. Barnabas has been serving this community since 1987. We currently have about 800 members: 500 adults and 300 children.

Map

In many ways, St. Barnabas is “un-unique”. We are a Christian community who proclaims Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We recognize and value the ministries at our neighboring congregations in the community.

But there are some things about St. Barnabas which are unique. Some of these are:

• We are a liturgical congregation with varied liturgies — traditional, folk, and contemporary
• Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday
• Children are valued participants in our worship each week
• Young people may commune as early as age 3 (First Communion classes are offered twice a year)
• Lay members share in worship leadership
