Outreach
In our efforts to “carry out Christ’s work of reconciliation in the world,” St. Thomas’ is a parish with a strong tradition of community service, both in the immediate Owings Mills community as well as the Baltimore metropolitan area. Over the last 10 years, our definition of outreach has evolved and deepened. Previously, the committee functioned mainly as a funding body, whereas today we seek to involve our parish actively with the communities we support.

St. Thomas' Church offers a wide variety of ways to lend your time and talent to deepening and supporting the life of the parish.
Stewardship
At St. Thomas’, stewardship is understood in its broadest definition. Parishioners are encouraged to be stewards in the areas of time, talent, and treasure. We rely on our members to share their time and talent to support community Outreach, Christian formation, fellowship, and a wide variety of lay ministries.
An annual “every member canvass” is the primary support for our annual operating budget. The annual canvas is chaired by two members of the laity who work closely with the Senior Warden, the Financial Secretary, and with consultation from the Rector.
