About Us

As Christians, we focus on Jesus’ command to love our neighbors as ourselves. We welcome the stranger. We support those in need. We work to bring God’s blessing to Northwest Alabama.

As Episcopalians, we work to bring God’s love to the whole world in partnership with the Anglican Communion. Our worship has deep roots in the ancient church. We also listen as the Spirit urges us to proclaim the Good News of God’s love in ways people can hear and feel in our day and age.

Who We Are

We exist to proclaim by word and deed the Good News of Jesus Christ. We strive to love our neighbors as ourselves and to respect the value and dignity of every human being.

Meet Our Priest-in-Charge

The Rev. Jake Andrews

The Rev. Jake Andrews was called to St. Bartholomew’s in August 2023. Jake is a graduate of the University of Alabama (B.A.), Beeson Divinity School (M.Div.), the University of Aberdeen, Scotland (M.Th. and Ph.D.), and the University of Iowa (M.F.A.). In 2019, Jake was ordained to the priesthood while serving as a professor at Whitworth University in Spokane, WA. He spent the first years of his ordained life as an assisting priest at St. John’s Cathedral, Spokane, WA, and, most recently, as the vicar of the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, Spokane Valley. Gradually, he felt God’s persistent call to full-time ministry and is so happy to have been called to St. Bart’s and the Shoals, where he is also the Associate Rector of Trinity. Jake is married to Christina, and they have a son, Jonah.

    Ash Wednesday, March 5, 5:30pm

    Join us as we begin our Lenten journey towards Easter. This service will begin with a meditation on our mortality with the Imposition of the Ashes, and it will end with a celebration of communion, reminding us that in the midst of life, we are in death, and in the midst of death, we find life.

    Holy Communion during Lent, Wednesdays, 11am

    Beginning March 12, you are invited to join us for a midweek Eucharist. This informal, spoken service is perfect to reorient yourself in the middle of a work week. The service lasts for half an hour.

    Stations of the Cross, Fridays, 5:15pm

    Beginning March 14, we will walk around the church and hear readings from scripture that detail the final hours of Jesus’ life. The goal is to help us see how his life, death, and resurrection still have ongoing power in our day-to-day lives.
