Christ & His Commands

Everything we learn, everything we teach, and everything we preach is about getting people to know and live in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Out of His love for us Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for our sins and opened the gates of heaven for all who love Him.

We are committed to Christ’s Summary of the Law, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. And, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

We believe that in these few words, Jesus gave us the answer to all of life’s modern day questions and issues. Our relationship with God is further developed outside of worship in the relationships we have with other people. It is in these relationships that we are able to share God’s love with one another and grow in Christ.

We seek to learn more about God in the study of His Holy Word through worship and in Bible study - both together and personally. The Old Testament points forward to Jesus. The Gospel accounts reveal His active love and grace when He walked upon the earth physically. And, the Epistle accounts point us back to the life of Jesus, encouraging us to live in His grace through the guidance of the Holy Spirit as His chosen people. We, the Church, have been given the power of the Holy Spirit to carry on the work of Jesus Christ.

Jesus has commissioned each of us as His ministers.

We come before God as a Church with our prayers, to worship, praise, and glorify the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. However, God calls us to glorify Him in all we do both corporately as the Church and personally in our vocations.

Share in the true love our Lord offers everyone. We are a church of people from different backgrounds, different income levels, different ethnicity, and different ages. We are all bound together as brothers and sisters in the love of our Lord. This is true diversity. This is the true diversity that is only found in the True Love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

That’s what you’ll find at St. Thomas’ Church!
