St. Thomas Episcopal - St. Petersburg, FL

About Us
We believe that Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of the triune God, came to reveal the fullness of God's love for us. We celebrate that love through sacramental liturgy, works of mercy, fellowship in community, and formation through prayer and education.

We are part of the Diocese of Southwest Florida, which is a part of The Episcopal Church, which is in turn a part of the world-wide Anglican Communion.

We believe that each sacrament can be available to all persons, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, age, or other classification and believe that the Nicene and Apostles' Creeds are the sufficient statement of our faith. All are welcome and invited to be a part of this loving community.

Sunday Services:
8:00 a.m. - Holy Eucharist, Rite II
10:00 a.m. - Holy Eucharist, Rite II

Guided by the Book of Common Prayer (1979), we worship by gathering in God’s name; hearing readings from Scripture following the Revised Common Lectionary and preaching that expounds upon them; by praying for ourselves and others, and exchanging the peace of Christ; and by presenting gifts to God, celebrating the Holy Eucharist, and sharing God’s gifts with all.

Work on the organ continues!
