Church History

About Our History

For over 50 years, St. Barnabas has:

Provided a safe, inviting, and nurturing place for worship, spiritual growth, and fellowship
Encouraged the ministries of all — those that we practice individually and those that we commit to working on together as a congregation
Joyfully shared our gifts by welcoming all to Holy Communion no matter where you are in your spiritual journey. We are committed to welcoming and integrating new members into our church family regardless of factors such as age, race, sexual orientation, gender, social or economic status or physical or mental disability
Moved to make Christ known by being an Episcopal Church presence in the community of Portage and in the world
