The Hands of Christ in Siskiyou County

For over one hundred and twenty-five years, Episcopalians have been worshiping God and serving the communities of Siskiyou County. As the local Episcopal Branch of the Jesus Movement, St. Barnabas looks forward to creative and exciting ways to continue that tradition in the years to come.

Our Story

St. Barnabas is a congregation of The Episcopal Church, which is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, a fellowship of national churches in thirty-eight countries around the globe, all with historic ties to the Church of England.

We understand the spiritual journey to be a life-long process of conversion, discipline, renewal and deepening commitment, and we trust that the Spirit of God is at work in the every aspect of that journey.

In our approach to other people, toward other faith traditions, and toward controversial issues, Episcopalians strive to be broad rather than narrow-minded, inclusive rather than exclusive, making room for one another within a community of faith and supporting one another in our individual faith journey.

Spreading the Gospel through Community Action

St. Barnabas is a active participant in Mt. Shasta and surrounding area communities. Our church hosts the most AA and peer support group meetings in the County; distributes food for Great Northern Food Bank and in-gathers food for area food banks; coordinates Northern California Episcopal Diocese Disaster Assistance, delivering ReStart Program supply bins to displaced families in Siskiyou County and beyond; donates clothing and personal items to the Siskiyou Domestic Violence and Crisis Center; organizes Trunk or Treat family fun on Halloween; celebrates Blessing of the Animals Day in support of the Siskiyou Humane Society and Mt. Shasta Animal Hospital; marches in Mt. Shasta's festive 4th of July parade; participates in area craft fairs and more!
