History

HISTORY
Church in Summer.jpeg

Founded in the 1950s in the backcountry of Greenwich, Connecticut in a tack room on John Street, St. Barnabas Church has been an independent parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut since 1967. The present church structure was designed by noted Greenwich resident and architect Philip Ives and constructed in 1958.  Today, St. Barnabas Church is a thriving congregation that serves the greater Greenwich area.  Sunday liturgy is the heart of its spiritual life as families and friends gather as a community for worship, learning, and fellowship.  Through a variety of outreach programs, its faith and resources are shared, making a difference in the community, Connecticut, and the world.
