Who We Are

  • Open. Our decision-making criteria are three: scripture, tradition, and reason. Thinking is encouraged in this congregation.
  • Diverse. We are people of various lifestyles, sexual orientations, ethnicities, abilities, disabilities, and ages. Our pastor is a woman, who has directed St. Thomas for 15 years. We are part of the Episcopal Church USA, but  many of us are of other persuasions and denominations. 
  • Worshipful. About 85 of us gather at two Sunday services: 8:00 a.m. is a said service, while 10:00 a.m. has hymns and other music, as well as Sunday School and Day Care. You are welcome at either service.
  • Communitarian. We are a green church working toward reduction of global warming and have foreign service activities in Nigeria, Kenya, and the Philippines. Once each quarter we prepare breakfast for the people at St. Martin's Hospitality Center, a day center for the homeless which we founded 20 years ago.
  • Enduring. St. Thomas has been in its current location since 1963, originally to serve the University of New Mexico, but now with a very widespread congregation.  Our buildings have been completely refurbished, and a new organ is being built.

Our Mission Statement

St. Thomas of Canterbury is a reconciling community of Christians who are nurtured at the Lord's Table, grounded in the truths of Scripture and the traditions of the Church, and sustained through prayer.  We are called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to:

- Celebrate the joy of God's presence

- Feed the hungry, heal the wounded,
 and welcome the stranger

- Cherish diversity while affirming
our unity as one family in Christ

- Maintain an active ministry to
the University of New Mexico

- Honor God in all Creation
