Worship at St. Thomas
The church is more than just a physical building where individuals gather to worship God. It is an inclusive community that encompasses all of God's people. God's people actively engage in the world, spreading awareness of God's boundless love for humanity. Together, they carry out God's work, with some individuals called to be leaders within the church. These chosen individuals undergo specialized training and education, known as ordination, signifying that they have been selected by both God and the church to guide and lead others.
They hold titles such as deacons, priests, and bishops. However, it is important to note that all individuals, regardless of their role within the church, contribute to God's work in their everyday lives. Through baptism, they become a cherished part of God's immense family, which we refer to as the church.
