Welcome to St. Barnabas Church

Our purpose is to worship the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, acknowledging him in all we do and promoting God’s love in fellowship and outreach to our surrounding community.

Our Hope is that today you will encounter the Risen Lord who loves you and has a perfect will for you to know and enjoy, and be encouraged to take a step of faith.

Our joy at St. Barnabas is in the Lord. We are people who have encountered the life-changing love of God and serve as a community of encouragement and strength, striving to be the body of Christ to the world.

Come and experience our worship, meet our staff, and talk with our people. You will find love, freedom, and opportunities to grow in your faith in a community that welcomes you.

Who we Are

For over 140 years, St. Barnabas Episcopal Church has been a beacon in the historic heart of DeLand, lighting the way to God through worship, fellowship, and purpose. We are a diverse body of folks, each on our own personal spiritual journey, united and growing in God’s grace. In Christ’s love, we serve our community and global missions.

What we Believe

We believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world. We believe God loves you — no exceptions. The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being.

What to Expect

We joyfully welcome all. You can participate in the service, or quietly observe. We follow the Book of Common Prayer in our worship, and invite all baptized Christians to receive Communion. If you have not been baptized, you are invited to come forward to the altar, and with arms crossed you will receive a blessing.
