New to St. Bart's?
Welcome to St. Bartholomew's Church!
Whether you have already walked through our New York City doors or are simply "church shopping" on the web, we are very glad to welcome you to this diverse and vibrant community of faith.
Most of us are searching for something larger than ourselves—for connections that are real and meaningful. We invite you to explore further. St. Bart's offers many ways to go a bit deeper and discover a warm caring community and a place of belonging while you get to know us and what we stand for. You will be warmly welcomed and shown full respect for where you are in your faith journey, whether that means you want to take it slowly and tentatively, or jump right in.
Again, welcome to St. Bart's!
Here are some ways to connect:
1.
Attend one of our
Sunday Services (at 8 am, 9 am, 11 am and 7 pm) and the coffee hour afterward. There you will meet the clergy and other members, newcomers, and seekers.
2.
Fill out a
Welcome card (found throughout the church) or e-mail St. Bart's Central with questions.
3.
Take a
tour of St. Bartholomew's after the 11 am service. This is a 20-minute tour of the unique architectural and artistic aspects of our landmark church.
4.
Attend
Membership Classes This class is especially designed for people considering membership in St. Bart’s, and, for continuing members who want to take a fresh look at what it means to belong to a faith community. Contact St. Bart's Central for more information: 212-378-0222 or central@stbarts.org.
5.
Welcome Sundays. If you have attended a membership class or otherwise would like to "bring your baptism" to St. Bart's from a previous faith community, you'll be welcomed (during services) in a simple, joyful rite in one of our regularly scheduled Welcome Sundays.
6. All clergy are willing to talk to you about your experience here at St. Bart's so feel free to call us.
For information, news and fellowship events for newcomers, call or email the Rev. Tom Ehrich at 212-378-0209 or ehrich@stbarts.org
