Bath, NC 27808

St. Thomas Episcopal Church, in the heart of Historic Bath, has been an active parish

for more than 300 years.

The church was built in 1734 and is the oldest church building in the state.

Services are held in the historic structure every Sunday as well as other times

throughout the year.

The St. Thomas family welcomes visitors who are just passing through,

as well as those who may be searching for a new home of worship.

Our deep connection to the Bath community was highlighted in the July 2026

edition of Our State magazine and short article “Come On In”

both written by Tamiya Anderson.

The St Thomas Flower Guild Cutting Garden is finally coming to fruition. The

idea of a Colonial Garden at St Thomas was first envisioned in 1937, but other

things were more pressing at the time and it was not pursued. In 2019, the

St. Thomas Flower Guild received permission from the Vestry to look into options

for a cutting garden to be used by the guild for weekly flowers for the church as

well as special holidays. Due to COVID, the garden was once again

postponed. Finally in 2025, St Thomas Vestry revisited and gave permission to

pursue the project.
