What We Believe
We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As constituent members of the Anglican Communion in the United States, we are descendants of and partners with the Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church, and are part of the third largest group of Christians in the world.
We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.
We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God, and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of sexual identity or orientation.
We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.
Join Us
Thank you for considering a visit to St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church. We are a welcoming and inclusive church community!
Our parish grounds consist of three and a half peaceful acres nestled within the neighborhood of Florissant, Missouri. There is ample parking in our lot in front of our building. As you enter the doors of our sanctuary, expect to be met with a warm smile and a greeting. An usher will offer you the service program for that day’s worship and direct you to a seat if need be. Settle into your seat and enjoy the Prelude played by our Director of Music. Our service consists of prayers, hymns, a homily, Holy Communion, and more hymns.
Every person who joins us in worship is welcome to share in the bread and wine of Holy Communion. You are invited to come forward to receive communion or you may ask an usher for the bread and wine to be brought to your seat. You may also come forward and cross your arms across your chest to ask for a blessing.
We joyfully welcome people of all ages to fully participate in our worship. Once the service had concluded, you are warmly welcomed to join us in our Parish Hall for Coffee Hour.
Again, we hope your time with us grants you whatever you may be in need of at this time. We are looking forward to meeting you!
