WHO WE ARE

AT A GLANCE



"The kind of Church I hoped had existed and found when I visited St. Bart's."


We've gotten a lot of comments similar to that in the last few years and we thank God for it.


Church can be tricky. Just walking into a Church for the first time is courageous in our opinion. And whenever people do, we're honored and take the responsibility of faithfully representing God and Jesus seriously. 


So who is St. Bart's? 


We're kids. We're Gen Z. We're Millennials. We're X-ers. We're Baby Boomers. We're lifelong Wisconites (Go Pack!). We're from other States (Go Bears!).  We're Episcopalians. We're from other traditions. We're just exploring faith. 


We love to feast and celebrate with our annual Oktoberfest. 


We care about wellness with our Let's Move May month of hiking, biking, cooking and wellness classes, and our Super Sprint Triathlon. 


We care about serving the most vulnerable:  AIDS victims in MalawiChildren with Canavan's Disease.  Those Struggling Financially.  Families Experiencing Homelessness.  Those Who Are IncarceratedVeterans & their Families.


We support each other when life is tough. 


We love the Jesus Meal of Holy Communion.


We love to sing.


We think prayer is important. 


We think God hears us we do.


We think the Bible says a lot of truthful things, a lot helpful things, a lot of confusing things, and a lot of wonderful things. 


We think life is hard. 


We think life has joy. 


We think people can be as disappointing as they can also be beautiful.


We think God is mysterious.


We think God is trustworthy.


We think God loves you exactly as you are.

OUR MISSION

Our mission at St. Bart's:   Helping Everyone Become The People God Created Us To Be

To accomplish this we're committed to creating a welcoming, safe community where people can explore God, Jesus, and faith at their own pace. 


While we have a particular, Episcopal way of worshipping on Sundays (ministers in robes, times to stand and sit, ceremonial movements like bowing and the Sign of Cross) but it's a core value for us that everyone's welcome to participate in their own way as they feel most comfortable. And we especially work to explain why we do these things so they make sense and you can participate if you'd like to. 


The most important thing at St. Bart's for us is the person and teaching of Jesus Christ. As our Presiding Bishop Michael Curry said: 


"Being a Christian is not essentially about joining a church or being a nice person, but about following in the footsteps of Jesus, taking his teachings seriously, letting his Spirit take the lead in our lives, and in so doing helping to change the world from our nightmare into God’s dream." 


That's what we strive to be do at St. Bart's.
