Historic St. Thomas Episcopal Church can be described as "consecrated to the Lord and baptized in fire." Robert Parlour, a priest in the early 1960's wrote,"Truly St. Thomas has been baptized in fire. The building was erected on the ashes of Canyon City's first disastrous fire of the 1870's, another fire all but leveled the town, but the Church stood solid, as a landmark among the rubble. A third fire swept through the community in 1937. A store next to the church was completely destroyed, the business district of the town disappeared, but still with paint scorched and blackened by smoke, the church still stood."
Today St. Thomas is still an active church, holding regular worship services every Sunday at 10:00 AM. Morning prayer is held on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays and Eucharist and Sunday School is held on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. Please check the posted schedules for occasional changes.
