Who are we?

We have THREE PASTORS at St Thomas, Chris, Mae, and Mat, who serve this community alongside our leadership team to help St Thomas accomplish our mission, vision, and values.

Our LEADERSHIP TEAM, which is made up of elected partners from the congregation, serve alongside our staff to guide and support St Thomas in all manner of ways, from updating budgets, to planning events, to accountability, and so much more

But a church is not defined by its pastor; it is defined by its people

St. Thomas is a welcoming and intentionally inclusive community made up of so many incredible people. We are young. We are old. We are wealthy. We are not so wealthy. We are educated. We aren't. We are white. We are BIPOC. We are cisgendered. We are LGBTQIA+, We are married. We are single. We like tea and coffee, beer and wine, juice and milk. We are thinkers, feelers, artists, musicians, teachers, learners, and so much more. We come together often to talk about life, faith, fear, doubt and how they all intersect. Together we do our best to follow Jesus with our whole lives (though we fail often) and together we do our best to be Jesus' body in Salem and in the world. We are congregationally led, with decisions made by our leadership team and our community, Here's what we believe.

Sunday worship is laid back, and opt-in focused. You can join us in singing, participate in a discussion after the message, engage in prayer stations, or do whatever you need to be with Jesus in the way that you need to be with Jesus that day.
