Lay Leadership

St. Barnabas is a community of encouragement - inspired by teamwork and the many different gifts of our members. We strive to love and encourage one another in our journey of faith.

We have undergone an intentional transformation process to become a "laity-led" church. This means we value and seek the leadership of our all our members to organize, create and lead our church's many ministries. We believe that ministry is the work of all God's people. We share in the leadership of our church and hands-on ministry alongside our clergy and staff.

Our Vestry and Ministry Council Leaders are partners in cultivating our ministries and community life, including our outreach, worship, education, parish life, care and growth ministries. Reach out to any of our vestry or MCL leaders if you are interested in being involved in a specific ministry area.

We are always looking for new ideas and people who are passionate to join us in being the church, loving and serving God and our neighbors.
