We are thrilled that you are interested in a visit to Saint Thomas. This page is dedicated to informing you of what you can expect when planning your visit.
Come as you are. Most of us dress casual. Some wear jeans and T-shirts. Our church does not have a dress code.
There is always plenty of parking space available. The facility is all on one level. There are no steps or ramps between the parking lot and the building. There are no steps to encounter inside the building. You can make your way to the Sanctuary and choose yourself where to sit. You will not be expected to wait for an usher to seat you. Greeters will be available to greet you and answer any questions.
First of all, you won’t be pointed out or made to feel uncomfortable in any way. You will have a meaningful, stress-free experience…and you’ll have a lot of fun. Each service is about 90 minutes. The first 20 minutes of the service will be the greeting, scripture reading for the message, worship consisting of traditional hymns and contemporary music. You can sing as much as you feel comfortable! After the announcements there will be testimonies or the Annointing Service or we’ll jump right into the day’s teaching. Each message/sermon is usually 25 to 35 minutes long and includes teaching from the Bible, typically one verse at a time. The order of the Annointing Service, message, and testimonies varies according to the Holy Spirit. You can watch or download audio from previous messages/sermons at the Media page.
James 5:14-17 KJV says:
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
This portion of the Worship Service where anyone has the opporunty to be annointed in the name of the Lord for whatever your needs. You are not asked why you wish to be annointed. You are not required to be annointed. This is between you and the Lord. We use olive oil for annointing of the forehead. Others will lay hands on the annointed and pray with the annointed.
We have a Nursery for children up to 2 years of age where you can hear and see the service. We do not employ Nursery staff so you are welcome to use the Nursery and stay with your children. There are diaper-changing stations in the restrooms. We offer Junior Church during the message and children ages 2 through 9 are invited to join us in a fun, safe, clean, interactive environment where our team of trained and background-checked volunteers offer a message which is easier for children to understand. Children older than 9 are encouraged to attend the message with their parents.
