I love this church.  I was raised a catholic and had moved away from church when I found the Episcopal Church.  The gentle loving way that all are welcomed is the closest to what I imagine Jesus would do.   I have never found this in any other church.   I have grown so much in my faith and in my spiritual life since joining Saint Barnabas.  Saint Barnabas is a special place which offers so much more than Sunday worship.  The programs for spiritual growth such as Centering Prayer and St. Barnabas unique bible study program (TAES) has opened doors for me which have allowed me to grow in ways that bring peace and joy to my life.  The music ministry is exceptional and I often feel privileged on Sunday mornings to hear such beautiful music from incredibly talented people.  The Rector and staff are a hard working dedicated team  and I am truly blessed to have this wonderful church in my life.

All are welcome at St. Barnabas.  This means everyone and for everything we do, including Eucharist.  I have been a member for 15 years and this will always be my church home.  I am a polyglot Protestant and I now love the Episcopal/liturgical approach to worship.  I love the music at St. Barnabas, as well as the people.  Come check us out and see what you think.

"Barny's" as we call it, is an inspiring blend of ceremony, traditon, liturgy and somehow also the most forward thinking group of religious individuals one could find. I grew up in non-denominational churches where I mistakenly believed we were the few who had broken the bonds of outdated dogma and were free to truly live in the spirit among the real world. Barney's, despite its spectacular ceremonial spectacles and tradition has laid waste to those long held notions. There, critical thinking and open mindedness may accompany passion for God and his work. My non-denominational churches suddenly seem so very dogmatic in a way thats too subtle to see easily but that runs deep into the core. Beyond the ideological and theological successes of Barney's, it is the most gorgeous grounds a church has ever graced. The staff is incredible, we never feel bombarded, just genuinely cared for. The choir is international competition worthy, they never fail to choke me up with reverence. Reverend Jim Clark is the most compelling, grace oriented and balanced reverend I have witnessed. I could listen to him for hours but service is not drawn out, perfect time table. Reverend Erica has quickly become a good friend and made us feel appreciated rather than bartered with for attendance. We're young, my wife and I, we have a young son. There is a good smattering of age demographics though only a handful of young family's (29 & 31) like us attend. It is enough though, there are many farther into their 30's on up to 90. There are so many traditions, its so well organized but even not knowing ANYTHING and obviously being a new member (4 months now) we are treated like family and there is no pressure to follow suit with the traditional motions, though I'm enjoying learning them. They don't feel formulated, just gestures of love for God. 
I have been wandering for 13 years without a true home church. Finding Barney's felt like Moses being led out of the desert. Realize how long I've been looking for a church, in my wanderings, I've been to everything, countless dozens of churches. Never before now have I felt that old familiar flame well up to tell me I was home. That doesn't necessarily mean it's your calling as well but we are truly grateful to have discovered this church. At the very least, it is absolutely worth a Sunday try.

Welcoming, open, loving, inclusive, full of life church.Whether you are looking for a church home that has great programs for kids and youth, or  awesome music, or offerings that enrich your spiritual journey, or ways to serve........Saint Barnabas may be that church. It has certainly become mine.
 The minute you walk in....it feels like home.
