Special Events

Part of our vision as a parish church is to be a Church of Leadership Teaching Leadership.  Recognizing that for those who have been given more, more will be expected (Luke 19:26, Matthew 25:15), St. Bartholomew’s will share our leadership findings and gifting with other local congregations, our diocese, and our national and international Anglican church.  We want to share the gifts that God gives us, not hoard them. 

We are always seeking opportunities to bring exciting and sound teachings, events and community activities that engage people where they are in their faith journey.  Some of the events that we have sponsored are:
