St Thomas Church

St. Thomas’, with approximately 1,000 members, is located on 52 acres in Baltimore County, Maryland.  Our parishioners worship in one of the Diocese of Maryland’s oldest continuously operating churches founded in 1742.  Our faith community includes those whose families have worshiped at St. Thomas’ for generations, yet many of our members have no familial ties to St. Thomas’ or have joined us from other faith traditions.  Our church is situated between rural Greenspring Valley and Owings Mills, a designated growth corridor, with a population of more than 20,000 people.  St. Thomas’ is approximately 15 miles from downtown Baltimore and 50 miles from Washington, D.C.
