Sunday at St. Barnabas
St. Barnabas is a community of believers in Bellville seeking to love God, love one another, and make disciples of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. We worship in the classical Anglican tradition, Scripture, prayer, preaching, and Holy Communion, where the ancient faith still speaks with clarity, beauty, and power today.

Morning and Evening Prayer from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, laid out for you each day.
Pray with usOur most recent services and sermons, from the parish YouTube channel.
A greeter meets you at the door with a Prayer Book and the day's bulletin. Page numbers are called aloud, so you can follow along at your own pace.
The service lasts about an hour: Scripture, prayer, a sermon that stays close to the text, and Holy Communion. Children stay in worship, and nobody minds a little noise.
Afterward there is coffee, conversation, and Bible Study if you care to stay. No one will ask you to stand up, sign anything, or explain yourself.
