Youth Community

More than anything, we hope to build a community of youth at St. Columba’s where everyone is welcomed and valued. This community provides an alternative to school communities where youth are too often divided into popular and unpopular, cool and uncool.

Mothers & Fathers

St. Columba's parenting groups seek to strengthen our faith by sharing our experiences as mothers and fathers, and to meet in fellowship to discuss the realities of parenting – both the challenges and the blessings – and to hear from guest speakers on topics such as spirituality, the practice of faith, parenting, and work/life balance. Together we learn how to use God’s tools to build and develop our lives as parents and leaders of young people.

It is my great joy to welcome you! Your presence here is a gift.

St. Columba’s is a lively community of faith engaged in many ministries. We’re glad you’ve found us and look forward to welcoming you and learning more about you!

We’re glad you’re here. St. Columba’s is a church on a mission to Live God’s Love. While our building is closed, our parish community is alive and well connected online. Walk with us during these uncertain times as we encourage spiritual curiosity, celebrate children and youth, and embrace the world in the spirit of God’s justice and love.

The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. ~ Anne Lamott

Joining a church doesn’t mean you don’t have big questions or doubts. Deciding to be part of a loving community of faith means you’re open to exploring and wrestling with those big questions and doubts. Most people here did not grow up in The Episcopal Church. Some have never been a member of any church. Many have a background in a different church or faith tradition. At St. Columba’s, there will be many opportunities to learn, ask questions, and get to know other pilgrims along the way. Our deepest hope is that everyone who steps through our doors knows they belong here.

While our building is closed, our parish community is alive and well connected online. Walk with us during these uncertain times as we encourage spiritual curiosity, celebrate children and youth, and embrace the world in the spirit of God’s justice and love. How can we serve you today?

Let's Stay in Touch!

"Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other ... If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly."
Romans 12: 4-8

Together and apart we all belong to each other. In this season of stewardship, please give generously so that our body, our church, our love for one another and for God, may continue to grow and thrive.

A pledge is a promise - a promise to give a certain amount over the course of the following year. We don’t expect you to fulfill your pledge in one lump gift. Many find they can give more when pledging and then giving incrementally over the course of the year.

Pledging before the start of each calendar year is critical for clergy and staff to develop an annual budget and plan to serve you and our wider community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Give? God asks us to share our time, talent and treasure. A life of generosity is at the root of Christianity. The Bible encourages the tithe – or 10% of your annual income – and we encourage you to think about what a meaningful gift would be for you.
